This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Whenever applicable, agency data is consulted as part of the analysis, however final products do not necessarily reflect an assessment from any specific department.

None Explanation The bill enacts state policy put into place by the Governor's Executive Order 7W that prohibits charging contributing employer's unemployment insurance accounts to reflect benefits paid to a claimant due to partial or total unemployment attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic declared on March 10, 2020.
The bill conforms statute to current practice, which shifts the additional costs attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic to all contributing employers.
The bill exempts certain employers from the sales and use tax on purchases of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
In total, the sales tax exemption on safety apparel is estimated to be $250,000 annually.
Lastly, the bill expands the scope of regulatory analyses state agencies must conduct.
Specifically, for each proposed regulation state agencies much prepare an analysis that identifies (1) each comparable federal regulation, (2) how it differs from the proposed regulation, (3) any adverse impact of the federal regulation on small businesses, and (4) the extent to which the agency attempted to mitigate the adverse SB711 / File No.

The bill could result ina cost to variousagencies associatedwith requiring small business impact analyses for proposed regulations.
Any additional staff costs for each agency is dependent upon the number of regulations filed and time required to complete such analyses.

183 OLR Bill Analysis SB 711 AN ACT CONCERNING COVID-19 RELIEF FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND REQUIRING FEDERAL REGULATORY ANALYSIS FOR PROPOSED STATE REGULATIONS.
SUMMARY Thisbill createsa “non-charge” against anemployer’sexperience rate for the unemployment benefits paid to former employees whom the Labor commissioner (or his designee) determines became partially or totally unemployed because of COVID-19.
(This provision codifies Executive Order 7W (§ 2), which the governor issued on April 9, 2020.) The bill also establishes a sales and use tax exemption for small businesses for personal protective equipment used or worn to prevent COVID-19 infection or transmission.
Lastly, it requires state agencies to prepare a federal regulatory analysis when adopting regulations.
Generally, the analysis must compare the proposed regulation with any similar federal regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
(1) July 1, 2021, for the unemployment provision and sales and use tax provision, with the latter applicable to sales occurring on or after that date;
(2) October 1, 2021, for the regulatory analysis;
and (3) January 1, 2022, for a conforming change.
§§ 1 & 2 — UNEMPLOYMENT NON-CHARGE The bill creates a “non-charge” against an employer’s experience rate for the unemployment benefits paid to former employees whom the Labor commissioner (or his designee) determines became partially or totally unemployed because of COVID-19.
This includes former employees who, through no fault of their own, became partially or fully unemployedduringthepublichealthandcivilpreparednessemergency declaredbythegovernoronMarch10,2020,andanyperiodofextension SB711 / File No.

183 or renewal.
In effect, this allows employers to lay off these employees without increasing the employer’s unemployment taxes (see BACKGROUND).
Aswithmost otherunemployment non-charges,thebill’snon-charge provisiondoesnotapply to“reimbursing employers”(e.g.,thestate and municipalities) who do not pay unemployment taxes but instead directly reimburse the unemployment trust fund for the benefits collected by their former employees.
§ 3 — SALES AND USE TAX EXEMPTION The billestablishes a salesanduse tax exemption for smallbusinesses for personal protective equipment used or worn to prevent COVID-19 infection or transmission.
Under the bill, a small business (1) is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, sole proprietorship, or individual, operating a business for a profit and (2) has up to 100 full- time employees, including subsidiaries or affiliated corporations.
The billdoesnot establisha mechanismfor sellerstoverifywhichbusinesses are eligible for the exemption.
§§ 4 & 5 — FEDERAL REGULATORY ANALYSIS The bill requires state agencies to prepare a federal regulatory analysis when adopting regulations.
They must do so before, or concurrently with, posting a notice of intent to adopt regulations on the eRegulations System.
The analysis must identify (1) the proposed regulation’s scope and objectives, (2) each comparable federal regulation and how it differs from the proposed regulation, (3) any adverse impact of the federal regulation on small businesses, and (4) the extent to which the agency attempted to avoid the adverse impact when developing the regulation.
The agency must also submit the analysis to the Regulation Review Committee.
For purposes of this analysis, a “small business” is a business entity that, including its affiliates, (1) is independently owned and operated and (2) employs fewer than 250 full-time employees or has gross annual sales of less than $5 million.
The agency may define “small business” to SB711 / File No.

183 include a greater number of full-time employees, up to the applicable federal standard or 500, whichever is less.
BACKGROUND Related Bill HB 5377, reported favorably by the Labor and Public Employees Committee,disregardsanemployer’sbenefit chargesandtaxablewages betweenJuly 1, 2019, andJune30,2021,whencalculating theemployer’s unemployment tax experience rate for taxable years starting on or after January 1, 2022.
Unemployment Non-Charge In general, a portion of a private-sector employer’s unemployment insurance tax is based on the employer’s “experience rate,” which reflects the amount of unemployment benefits paid to former employees.
Typically, laying off employees leads to a higher experience rate and higher unemployment tax for the employer.
The law, however, allows several non-charging separations in which an employee can collect benefits that are not charged against a former employer’s experience rate (e.g., voluntarily leaving work to care for a seriously ill spouse, parent, or child), and thus do not increase the employer’s unemployment taxes.
In these instances, the cost of the benefits paid to the former employee is shared by all employers who pay unemployment taxes.
