AN ACT relating to worker benefits.

This bill would allow businesses and other organizations to contribute money toward a portable benefit plan for self-employed workers as a form of compensation. These benefits would travel with the worker rather than being tied to a single employer. The bill also includes a protection stating that receiving these contributions cannot be used to reclassify a self-employed worker as an employee. Who it may affect: self-employed workers, independent contractors, and the businesses or organizations that hire them.
