AI Summary
This bill aims to establish that app-based drivers, such as those working for ride-sharing services, are not considered employees, and the companies that provide the app-based platforms (referred to as "network companies") are not considered employers for certain purposes under Massachusetts state law. The bill seeks to create a new classification for these app-based drivers, distinct from traditional employee-employer relationships, which may impact their rights and benefits under state labor laws.
