AI Summary
This bill aims to provide a safe harbor for certain contractors of services by amending Section 148B of Chapter 149 of the General Laws. Specifically, the bill states that an individual who has pre-registered as a payroll-taxpaying entity with the Department of Revenue and has attested that the registration is voluntary and free from coercion will be considered to have satisfied the "independent contractor" test under the law if their contract meets certain conditions, such as meeting certain hourly or weekly compensation thresholds, involving professional certification or licensure, conducting business in a franchise relationship, or granting the individual ownership or copyright of the work product.
