Bill > H1902

This bill amends Section 148B of Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which defines the criteria for determining whether an individual is considered an employee or an independent contractor. The key changes are: (1) removing the requirement that an individual must be free from the employer's control and direction to be considered an independent contractor; and (2) adding a new criterion that the service must be performed outside the usual course of the employer's business. This bill aims to clarify and potentially expand the definition of independent contractors in Massachusetts.
