The resolution proposes an interim study to explore the implementation of portable benefits systems for independent contractors and workers in nontraditional work arrangements in Nebraska. These systems aim to provide benefits such as health coverage and retirement savings that can be accessed across various contracts and platforms. The study will address key issues related to state regulatory authority, administrative oversight, taxation, and workforce policy, while also examining how other states have approached portable benefits legislation and regulatory frameworks.

The Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study. The committee will review existing legislation in other states, analyze potential legal and regulatory considerations for Nebraska, and assess the roles of state agencies in overseeing such programs. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
