IC-Friendly Bill Pending in the Pennsylvania Senate

A bill pending in the Pennsylvania Senate will have a positive effect on Independent Contractors operating in that state, if passed.  Senate Bill #643 was introduced by Senator John Gordner of Pennsylvania�s 27th District.

The legislation permits independent contractors without employees to certify with the Bureau of Workers� Compensation that they are exempt from the requirement to carry workers� compensation insurance.  The certification will, in turn, indemnify businesses that contract with these independent contractors from liability for the contractor�s work-related injuries.
