Treatment of independent contractors modification

This bill modifies Minnesota laws regarding how independent contractors are classified within the building construction and improvement industry. It establishes a list of specific requirements that a worker must meet to be legally considered an independent contractor rather than an employee. These requirements include owning necessary equipment, serving multiple clients, maintaining proper tax and insurance records, and operating under a written contract that grants the contractor control over their work methods. If a worker fails to meet these criteria, the law states they will be treated as an employee of the company that hired them. The changes directly affect businesses and individuals involved in providing construction services in the state.
