This bill clarifies the independent contractor status for certain licensed or regulated professionals in New Jersey. It stipulates that individuals classified under a written agreement as independent contractors will not be considered employees for any purpose under state law. The professionals covered by this bill include licensed insurance producers, broker-dealers, agents, investment advisers, and individuals who operate vehicles for freight delivery, provided they meet specific criteria for exemption from employment definitions under existing laws.

Additionally, the bill specifies that these professionals are not required to meet any further tests to be recognized as independent contractors, including those outlined in the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law. The legislation aims to affirm the historical treatment of these professionals as independent contractors and applies retroactively to any written agreements made before or after the bill's effective date, ensuring that the terms of those agreements are enforced without alteration.
