The New York State Legislature has begun drafting legislation to address worker misclassification (e.g. treating workers as independent contractors). The Assembly bill A08237 and Senate bill (S6194) seek to dramatically revise the standards to limit the improper use of independent contractors. On January 27, 2010, ABGL lawyer, James W. Versocki, testified at the Assembly's hearing on the issue. James' presentation focused improving the legislation to better address the dilemma of worker misclassification.
