Bill Summary

Revises exemption from "unemployment compensation law" for operators of certain motor vehicles.

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "employment" under New Jersey's unemployment compensation law to remove an exemption for operators of certain motor vehicles. Previously, operators of motor vehicles weighing 18,000 pounds or more, used for commercial freight, who owned or financed their equipment and were paid by a percentage of revenue or by distance and weight, were not considered employees for unemployment compensation purposes. This bill removes that specific exemption, meaning these operators will now be subject to the unemployment compensation law unless they meet other criteria for exemption. The bill also states that it takes effect immediately upon enactment.
