SB 441 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO STUDY LABOR LAW VIOLATIONS BY LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES AND OTHER BUSINESS ENTITIES.

This bill requires the Labor Commissioner to conduct a study on whether members of limited liability companies and other business entities can bypass labor laws by creating separate business structures. The study must be completed by January 1, 2027, and will involve collaboration with state officials including the Secretary of the State and the Commissioner of Revenue Services. The final report will be submitted to the General Assembly's labor committee and may include recommendations for new legislation. This measure focuses on gathering information about potential legal workarounds rather than changing current labor laws immediately.
