AI Summary
This bill amends Section 148B of Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws to change the criteria for determining whether an individual performing a service is considered an employee or an independent contractor. The revised law states that an individual shall be considered an employee unless: (1) the individual is free from control and direction in performing the service, (2) the service is performed outside the usual course of the employer's business, or (3) the individual is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, profession, or business of the same nature as the service performed.
