An Act amending the act of October 13, 2010 (P.L.506, No.72), known as the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, further providing for independent contractors.

SB 893 amends Pennsylvania's Construction Workplace Misclassification Act to clarify that construction workers registered under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (2008) are considered independent contractors by default. This change directly affects construction workers and contractors in disputes over misclassification, shifting the burden of proof in such cases. The key provision states that current registration under the Home Improvement Act serves as strong evidence that a worker is an independent contractor, not an employee. This simplifies verification for employers and the Department of Labor but does not alter worker rights or create new registration requirements.
