Plain-English summary
Domestic Violence Employment Security Act of 1999 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit denying an individual State unemployment compensation solely on the basis of leaving employment due to reasonable fear of domestic violence. Requires, in making a determination as to the reasonableness of an individual's fear, the State to consider factors it considers appropriate such as whether there were any alternatives available to the individual besides leaving such individual's employment and whether such individual was advised by a law enforcement officer or health care professional to leave such individual's employment.
