(b) Effective July 1, 2010, notwithstanding any law or rule to the contrary, an individual shall not be disqualified for benefits for any week in which the individual separates from an employer offering part-time employment, only:
(1) If the individual has established eligibility for partial unemployment in accordance with subsection (a); and
(2) Where the individual's wages from the regular employer to which the individual is attached is at least seventy-five per cent of the total wages in the base period of the current claim during which the separation from the employer offering part-time employment occurred.
