Service Marketplace Platforms Amendments

HB 373 establishes a legal presumption that daycare providers using service marketplace platforms (like apps connecting caregivers with families) are independent contractors, not employees, unless clear evidence shows otherwise. It directly affects daycare providers who use these platforms to find clients, clarifying their employment status under Utah law. The bill adds new Section 34-53-202 to the Utah Code, mirroring existing rules for building service contractors but specifically applying to daycare services. This change takes effect on May 7, 2025, and does not involve funding or broader policy shifts.
