Deletes everything. Amends the Unemployment Insurance Act. Provides that, if an individual or entity transfers all or a portion of its trade or business and there is any substantial common ownership, management, or control of the transferor and transferee, the experience rating records of the transferor and transferee shall be combined for the purpose of determining their contribution rate. Provides that, if the transferor or transferee had a contribution rate applicable to it for the calendar year in which the transfer occurred, it shall continue with that contribution rate for the remainder of the calendar year and, if the transferee had no contribution rate applicable to it for the calendar year in which the transfer occurred, the contribution rate of the transferee shall be the same as the contribution rate of the transferor for the remainder of the calendar year, subject to a rate ceiling. Provides that, if an individual or entity that is not an employer under the Act acquires the trade or business of an employing unit, the experience rating record of the acquired business shall not be transferred to the individual or entity if the Director of Employment Security finds that the individual or entity acquired the business solely or primarily to obtain a lower contribution rate. Sets forth penalties for violations. Provides that the new provisions shall be interpreted and applied to meet the minimum requirements of any guidance or regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Makes other changes.

In provisions making specified individuals and entities subject to Class B misdemeanor penalties for certain violations regarding payment of contributions or advising another in a way that results in a violation of provisions regarding payment of contributions, requires that the violation be committed knowingly (and deletes language making certain corporate officers liable if, in the exercise of their duties, they ought to have had knowledge of the violation).
