Bill Summary

Relative to services performed outside the usual course of the business of the employer. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to remove the barrier to self-employment for contractors of services by amending Section 148B of Chapter 149 of the General Laws. Specifically, it proposes to remove the requirement that "the service is performed outside the usual course of the business of the employer" from the existing law. This change would allow individuals who provide services to an employer to be considered independent contractors, rather than employees, even if the services are within the usual course of the employer's business.
