Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to workers' compensation benefits for delivery network company workers

AI Summary

This bill amends New York's workers' compensation law to ensure that individuals who work for delivery network companies, defined as entities that use a digital platform to connect customers with workers for product delivery (excluding transportation network companies and restaurants' own ordering systems), are recognized as employees for the purpose of receiving workers' compensation benefits. This means that the delivery network company itself will be considered the employer of these workers, who are defined as individuals agreeing to pick up and deliver orders for compensation through such a digital network.
