Bill > SB091

This bill amends several Colorado laws, including the "Colorado Employment Security Act," the "Workers' Compensation Act of Colorado," the "Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act," and provisions related to wages, to exclude individuals engaged in the business of delivering or distributing newspapers or shopping news from being classified as "employees" under certain conditions. Specifically, these individuals will not be considered employees if all their pay is based on sales or output rather than hours worked, and if they have a written contract stating they should not be treated as employees for federal tax purposes. This change aims to clarify the employment status of newspaper and shopping news deliverers, ensuring they are treated as independent contractors rather than employees under these specific Colorado statutes.
