HD 1470 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to consolidating multiple definitions of employee

This bill aims to simplify legal language by ensuring that the definition of an "employee" is consistent across two related laws in Massachusetts. It achieves this by updating Chapter 152 to explicitly state that its use of the term "employee" must match the definition found in Chapter 149. Consequently, workers covered under both statutes will now be subject to a single, unified definition rather than having to navigate potentially conflicting interpretations. The change directly affects employers and employees operating under these specific state regulations, streamlining how their rights and obligations are defined.
