Bill > HB1224

This bill establishes criteria for determining if a traveling sales crew worker should be classified as an employee rather than an independent contractor, and empowers the Department of Labor and Industry to enforce these provisions. It requires employers of traveling sales crew workers to register with the Department, maintain financial responsibility, provide written disclosure statements, and comply with worker safety and insurance requirements. The bill also imposes penalties for violations, prohibits certain practices, and establishes criminal offenses and administrative penalties.
