Change provisions relating to marketplace network contractors under the Employment Security Law
LB 813 amends Nebraska's definition of "employment" under the Employment Security Law to clarify how marketplace network contractors are treated for unemployment benefits eligibility. The bill specifically changes provisions related to these contractors, ensuring their services are properly classified under state unemployment law. This affects workers who provide services through digital platforms or on-demand apps, determining whether they qualify for unemployment benefits. The change modifies Section 48-604 of the law to establish clearer criteria for including these workers in the unemployment insurance system.
