AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure unemployment insurance access by preventing employee misclassification. The key provision amends the existing law by striking out the requirement that "such service is performed outside the usual course of the business of the employer" in the definition of employment, effectively broadening the criteria for determining employee status. This change is intended to harmonize the employee definition and help prevent workers from being misclassified as independent contractors, which can limit their access to unemployment insurance and other benefits.
