Gig Economy Infrastructure Act 2020-03-12 Introduced in House Gig Economy Infrastructure Act

This bill temporarily preempts any state law that classifies an individual providing labor or services for remuneration (i.e., an independent contractor) as an employee for purposes of wage-rate and benefit requirements. This preemption ends three years after enactment.

The bill also broadens the existing Securities and Exchange Commission registration exemption for the issuance of securities as part of an employee-compensation package. Specifically, the bill applies this exemption to the issuance of securities as compensation for independent contractors.

The Government Accountability Office must report on the bill's effects.
