Sec. 1. 26 MRSA §1043, sub-§19, ,A, as amended by PL 1999, c. 
464, §l, is further amended to read: 
A. 
For purposes of section 1221, the term "wages" does not 
include remuneration that exceeds the

an individual by an employer or the employer's predecessor 
for 
employment 
during 
any 
calendar 
year, 
unless 
that 
remuneration 
is 
subject 
to 
a 
tax 
under 
a 
federal 
law 
imposing 
a

against 
which

The wage base through December 31, 1999 is $7,000. 
On and 
after January 1, 2000, until later adjusted, the wage base 
is $12,000. 
On January 1, 2006, 
and on the first day of 
every 5th year thereafter, the wage base then in effect must 
be adjusted by mUltiplying the wage base times a fraction 
formed as follows. 
The numerator is the State's average 
weekly wage calculated as of one year before the date of 
adjustment. 
The denominator is the State's average weekly 
wage 
calculated 
as 
of 
years 
before 
the 
date 
of 
adjustment. 
The resulting figure, 
rounded to the nearest 
$500, is the new wage base for the ensuing 5-year period 
until the next adjustment is due; 
SUMMARY 
This 
bill 
amends 
the 
definition 
of 
"wages" 
and 
also 
establishes a 
new wage base for the unemployment compensation 
system that will apply to wages beginning on January 1, 2006.
