A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REPEAL THE two‑week DISQUALIFICATION FOR UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BENEFITS AS A RESULT OF LEAVING WORK TO ACCOMPANY A SPOUSE TO A NEW PLACE OF RESIDENCE FOR WORK IN a different LOCATION AND to MAKE THOSE BENEFITS NONCHARGEABLE TO THE EMPLOYER.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 96‑14(1d) reads as rewritten:
"(1d)	For the purposes of this Chapter, any claimant leaving work to accompany the claimant's spouse to a new place of residence where that spouse has secured work in a location that is too far removed for the claimant reasonably to continue his or her work shall constitute good cause for leaving work. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subdivision, any claimant leaving work to accompany the claimant's spouse to a new place of residence because the spouse has been reassigned from one military assignment to another shall be deemed good cause for leaving work. Benefits paid on the basis of this subdivision shall not be charged to the account of the employer."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
