By striking everything after the enacting clause and 5 inserting: 6 < DIVISION I 7 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS 8 Section 1. Section 96.2, Code 2022, is amended to read as 9 follows: 10 96.2 Guide for interpretation. 11 1. As a guide to the interpretation and application of 12 this chapter , the public policy of this state is declared to 13 be as follows: Economic insecurity due to unemployment is 14 a serious menace to the health, morals, and welfare of the 15 people of this state. Involuntary unemployment is therefore 16 a subject of general interest and concern which requires 17 appropriate action by the legislature to prevent its spread 18 and to lighten its burden which now so often falls with 19 crushing force upon the unemployed worker and the worker’s 20 family. The achievement of social security requires protection 21 against this greatest hazard of our economic life. This can 22 be provided by encouraging employers to provide more stable 23 employment and by the systematic accumulation of funds during 24 periods of employment to provide benefits for periods of 25 unemployment, thus maintaining purchasing power and limiting 26 the serious social consequences of poor relief assistance. 27 The legislature, therefore, declares that in its considered 28 judgment the public good and the general welfare of the 29 citizens of this state require the enactment of this measure, 30 under the police powers of the state, for the compulsory 31 setting aside of unemployment reserves to be used for the 32 benefit of persons unemployed through no fault of their own. 33 2. It is the finding of the legislature that true economic 34 development can only be achieved when workers are given the 35 -1- H 8225.3983 (2) 89 dg/rn 1/ 3 #1.

respect they deserve. Economic development must include all 1 residents of this state, including men and women, people of all 2 gender identities, minorities, and immigrants. The legislature 3 further finds that economic development should include but not 4 be limited to residents of this state being paid a living wage, 5 this state being a welcoming place for immigrants, child care 6 and housing being readily affordable and available, and public 7 workers having collective bargaining rights. 8 DIVISION II 9 MINIMUM WAGE 10 Sec. 2.
