AI Summary
This bill amends the current law in Massachusetts to recognize the independence of franchise operators. Specifically, it states that an individual who is a party to a franchise agreement, where they are licensed or authorized to sell products or services under prescribed methods and intellectual property, shall not be considered an employee of the person or entity that grants the license or authorization. The bill also clarifies that this provision does not limit the availability of other legal or equitable remedies. The purpose of this bill is to establish the independent contractor status of franchise operators, rather than classifying them as employees.
