relative to voluntary portable benefits plans for independent contractors.

Summary

The bill lets independent contractors and the parties that hire them voluntarily join benefit plans that can include health, unemployment, disability, life, or retirement coverage. Hiring parties may make direct contributions or withhold a portion of the contractor’s pay for these plans, but such contributions do not affect the contractor’s legal status as an independent contractor. The goal is to give contractors access to benefits while preserving existing classification rules.
