be improperly classified as independent contractors. Such amendment 4

improperly classifying employees as independent contractors. 6

To update and modernize the classification of Connecticut's gig
workforce, so that all Connecticut workers have fair treatment under the
law and to provide Connecticut with the updated and proper
framework for employee protections in the modern economy.
