The “Independent Contractor Proper Classification Act of 2007″ is the title of a bill that Presidential Candidate Senator Barack Obama introduced in September of last year.
If it becomes a Federal independent contractor law, it will amend the Revenue Act of 1978, by providing procedures for properly classifying workers as independent contractors or employees.
The pending new law will also provide a path for a worker to discover his or her legal status as an independent contractor or employee, while protected from employer retaliation.
