Bill Summary

Relative to unemployment insurance for the gig economy, so-called. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to modify the unemployment insurance rules for the gig economy. It proposes to amend the state's unemployment law to define any entity that markets a service or product to the public and substantially relies on independent contractors to perform the service or provide the product as the employer of those individuals. This would make the entity responsible for paying worker's compensation contributions on behalf of the independent contractors, rather than the contractors themselves being liable for those contributions.
