Dossier Legislative introduced 05-sep-2023
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Protecting Independent Contractors from Discrimination Act of 2023

Key claim: The bill would extend federal workplace anti-discrimination protections to cover independent contractors.

Abstract

(HR5348 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2023-09-05): Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Why this matters

The proposal would extend federal workplace anti-discrimination protections to independent contractors, making employment classification less determinative of access to those protections. The reported status is introduction and committee referral, so the finding describes a proposed expansion of rights rather than a change already in effect.
