NJ SCR62

Declares the Department of Labor and Workforce Development's proposed rules on independent contractor classification (N.J.A.C. 12:11) inconsistent with legislative intent of the ABC test

Objects to proposed rule treating use of digital applications or software as evidence of employer control, arguing these are standard business practices

Criticizes provisions that would deem transportation network company drivers' vehicles as their "place of business," eliminating independent contractor status for rideshare drivers

Challenges rules that discount traditional markers of independent work such as professional licensure, working for multiple employers, and filing Form 1099 tax documents

Gives the Department 30 days to amend or withdraw the proposed rules before the Legislature may invalidate them through a subsequent concurrent resolution
