The bill amends the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, specifically Section 3, by adding a new subsection that establishes criteria for independent contractors in the construction industry. The new language specifies that evidence of an individual's registration as a contractor under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act will serve as prima facie evidence that the individual qualifies as an independent contractor. This addition aims to clarify the status of contractors and streamline the verification process for their classification.

The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. This amendment is intended to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding independent contractors, ensuring that those who are properly registered are recognized as such, thereby potentially reducing misclassification issues within the construction sector.
