Establishes provisions relating to portable benefit accounts. (BDR 53-621)
SB 336 creates portable benefit accounts for Nevada independent contractors and sole proprietors. These accounts allow workers to save money for health insurance, medical expenses, prescription drugs, retirement, life insurance, or income replacement. Employers can contribute by withholding a percentage of payment (with worker opt-in consent), but contributions alone cannot be used to determine if a worker should be classified as an employee. The bill also requires the Labor Commissioner to make three additional findings if considering misclassification claims involving these accounts.

MINOR
The bill was reprinted with amendments that clarify how portable benefit account contributions interact with employee classification determinations. The changes add credit unions as eligible administrators and strengthen protections against using contribution information to classify workers as employees, requiring the Labor Commissioner to make additional findings if such contributions are considered.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include credit unions as eligible administrators of portable benefit accounts, alongside banks and investment managers.
ELIGIBILITY
Added credit unions to the list of eligible institutions that can offer and administer portable benefit accounts.
ENFORCEMENT
Replaced a general prohibition on considering contribution information with specific requirements that the Labor Commissioner must make at least three additional findings of fact if they consider such contributions when determining employee classification.
REQUIREMENT
Clarified that the mere fact a contribution was made to a portable benefit account is insufficient to support any determination about whether the account holder should be classified as an employee.
