Sec. 203.251. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) The legislature finds that: (1) it is an essential governmental function to maintain funds in an amount sufficient to pay unemployment benefits when due; (2) at the time of the enactment of this subchapter, borrowing from the federal government was the only option available to obtain sufficient funds to pay benefits when the balance in the compensation fund is depleted; (3) alternative methods of replenishing the unemployment compensation fund may reduce the costs of providing unemployment benefits and employers' cost of doing business in the state; and (4) funds representing revenues received from the unemployment obligation assessment authorized under this subchapter and any income from the investment of those funds are not state property. (b) The purpose of this subchapter is to provide appropriate methods through which the state may continue the unemployment compensation program at the lowest possible cost to the state and employers in the state.
