Declares Department of Labor and Workforce Development new rules concerning employment status test for independent contractors inconsistent with legislative intent.
ACR 73 is a New Jersey legislative resolution declaring that proposed Department of Labor rules modifying the ABC test for independent contractor classification are inconsistent with the Legislature's intent. The resolution states the Department's proposed rules - such as redefining digital app usage as control evidence or devaluing standard business practices like liability insurance - undermine the original ABC test's purpose. This procedural resolution, filed under constitutional review authority, gives the Department 30 days to amend or withdraw the rules before the Legislature could seek to invalidate them. It directly affects the Department of Labor's rulemaking process and the classification of workers under New Jersey's unemployment compensation law.
