AI Summary

This bill, the Gig Worker Equity Compensation Act, aims to extend the exemptions for securities offered as part of employee pay to other individuals providing goods, labor, or services for remuneration. It requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to revise its regulations to apply the same exemptions to these "gig workers" as it does to regular employees. Additionally, the bill preempts certain state laws that create a presumption of employment for individuals providing goods, labor, or services. Finally, it directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study on the effects of the Act within three years of its enactment.
