HI HB2587

Delivery drivers who use personal vehicles must be classified as employees (not independent contractors) if they are required to complete deliveries within specified or algorithmically-determined timeframes and cannot decline assigned requests without penalties, deactivation, or loss of work opportunities.

The employee classification applies across multiple state labor laws including workers' compensation (Chapter 386), wage and hour (Chapter 387), temporary disability insurance (Chapter 392), family leave (Chapter 398), and unemployment insurance (Chapter 383).

Any agreement, policy, or contract classifying delivery drivers meeting these criteria as independent contractors is void and unenforceable under all affected statutes.

"Delivery driver" is defined as an individual using a personal vehicle to deliver packages from warehouses, fulfillment centers, or distribution stations to customers or end users.

Effective date is set as July 1, 3000 (placeholder date indicating the bill requires further amendment before implementation).
