Senator Thomas McGee and others have been working on language to amend the Independent Contractor Law (M.G.L. Chapter 149, Section 148b). This language attempts to allow Massachusetts Independent Contractors to get back to work while protecting those who were being misclassified. The language will be finalized in the next few days and should be available here by Friday evening. We will put the language on the blog as soon as it becomes available.
This language is part of an amendment to the Senate Budget, which will be deliberated on Tuesday, May 25th. You can watch this debate online here.
If you agree with the language, contact your State Senators on Monday to ask them to vote for this amendment! Find out who your state senator is in the sidebar at the right.
House Bill 1844, by the way, is still alive. A committee report on that bill should be coming out on May 28th. After that, we will have to follow its progress toward a vote.
