1.1.................... moves to amend H.F. No. 1137 as follows:
1.2Page 28, after line 29, insert:

1.3    "Sec. 27. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 268.095, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
1.4    Subdivision 1. Quit. An applicant who quit employment is ineligible for all
1.5unemployment benefits according to subdivision 10 except when:
1.6    (1) the applicant quit the employment because of a good reason caused by the
1.7employer as defined in subdivision 3;
1.8    (2) the applicant quit the employment to accept other covered employment that
1.9provided substantially better terms and conditions of employment, but the applicant did
1.10not work long enough at the second employment to have sufficient subsequent earnings to
1.11satisfy the period of ineligibility that would otherwise be imposed under subdivision 10
1.12for quitting the first employment;
1.13    (3) the applicant gave notice to quit the employment within 30 calendar days of
1.14beginning the employment because the employment was unsuitable for the applicant. The
1.15notice must include a definite date of quitting;
1.16    (4) the employment was unsuitable for the applicant and the applicant quit to enter
1.17reemployment assistance training;
1.18    (5) the employment was part time and the applicant also had full-time employment
1.19in the base period, from which full-time employment the applicant separated because of
1.20reasons for which the applicant was held not to be ineligible, and the wage credits from
1.21the full-time employment are sufficient to meet the minimum requirements to establish a
1.22benefit account under section 268.07;
1.23    (6) the applicant quit because the employer notified the applicant that the applicant
1.24was going to be laid off because of lack of work within 30 calendar days. An applicant
1.25who quit employment within 30 calendar days of a notified date of layoff because of lack
1.26of work is ineligible for unemployment benefits through the end of the week that includes
1.27the scheduled date of layoff;
2.1    (7) the applicant quit the employment (i) because the applicant's serious illness or
2.2injury made it medically necessary that the applicant quit; or (ii) in order to provide
2.3necessary care because of the illness, injury, or disability of an immediate family member
2.4of the applicant. This exception only applies if the applicant informs the employer of
2.5the medical problem and requests accommodation and no reasonable accommodation
2.6is made available.
2.7    If the applicant's serious illness is chemical dependency, this exception does not
2.8apply if the applicant was previously diagnosed as chemically dependent or had treatment
2.9for chemical dependency, and since that diagnosis or treatment has failed to make
2.10consistent efforts to control the chemical dependency.
2.11    This exception raises an issue of the applicant's being available for suitable
2.12employment under section 268.085, subdivision 1, that the commissioner must determine;
2.13    (8) the applicant's loss of child care for the applicant's minor child caused the
2.14applicant to quit the employment, provided the applicant made reasonable effort to obtain
2.15other child care and requested time off or other accommodation from the employer and no
2.16reasonable accommodation is available.
2.17    This exception raises an issue of the applicant's being available for suitable
2.18employment under section 268.085, subdivision 1, that the commissioner must determine;
2.19    (9) domestic abuse of the applicant or an immediate family member of the applicant,
2.20necessitated the applicant's quitting the employment. Domestic abuse must be shown
2.21by one or more of the following:
2.22    (i) a district court order for protection or other documentation of equitable relief
2.23issued by a court;
2.24    (ii) a police record documenting the domestic abuse;
2.25    (iii) documentation that the perpetrator of the domestic abuse has been convicted
2.26of the offense of domestic abuse;
2.27    (iv) medical documentation of domestic abuse; or
2.28    (v) written statement that the applicant or an immediate family member of the
2.29applicant is a victim of domestic abuse, provided by a social worker, member of the
2.30clergy, shelter worker, attorney at law, or other professional who has assisted the applicant
2.31in dealing with the domestic abuse.
2.32    Domestic abuse for purposes of this clause is defined under section 518B.01; or
2.33(10) the applicant quit in order to relocate to accompany a spouse whose job location
2.34changed making it impractical for the applicant to commute."
