An Act relative to the study of unemployment insurance and paid family medical leave for transportation network drivers

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Insurance and the Department of Family and Medical Leave to study how current laws apply to transportation network drivers, such as rideshare and delivery workers. The study will analyze whether these drivers should be eligible for unemployment benefits and paid family medical leave, and it will propose specific rules for how they and their companies could join these programs. The report must be submitted to state officials by December 15, 2023, to inform potential future legislation.
