The bill amends Chapter 7-6.2 of the General Laws, titled "Workers' Cooperatives," by adding a new section, 7-6.2-3.1, which allows corporations organized as workers' cooperatives to furnish skilled labor through their members. The new legal language specifies that these corporations can indicate their intent to operate as a workers' cooperative in their articles of incorporation or bylaws. It also establishes that individuals performing contract labor for other entities must do so as independent contractors, thereby clarifying the relationship between the workers and the contracting entity.

This legislation aims to enhance the operational framework of workers' cooperatives by enabling them to function as hiring halls under specific conditions. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, thereby allowing for a more flexible and defined structure for skilled labor provision through cooperative models.
