Summary
The bill lets independent contractors open and fund portable benefit accounts, and allows anyone—including hiring parties—to contribute voluntarily. Contributions can be withheld from the contractor’s pay with a clear opt‑in agreement, and contractors can opt out anytime. The law ensures these contributions don’t reclassify the contractor as an employee.
