Summary
Anyone who officiates amateur sports for a fee will be treated as an independent contractor for all state employment statutes. This removes them from employee coverage such as unemployment benefits, workers' compensation, and wage‑hour rules. The change takes effect immediately and applies retroactively to any pending or future legal proceedings.
