This 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 if an individual is registered as a contractor under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act at the time they perform services in the construction industry, this registration will serve as prima facie evidence that the individual qualifies as an independent contractor.

The bill aims to clarify the status of independent contractors by linking it to their registration under existing law, thereby providing a clearer framework for compliance and enforcement. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
