AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new chapter, Chapter 93L, which establishes criteria for determining whether a business entity is bona fide. Specifically, the bill states that a business entity providing services under a written contract is not considered an employee for the purposes of taxation and labor laws if the business entity is registered with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, reports its income and employee compensation to the IRS and Massachusetts Department of Revenue, and complies with relevant federal and state tax, insurance, and employment laws. This measure is aimed at encouraging the growth of small businesses in the state.
