Loudermilk Cosponsors Resolution Defending Independent Contractors | This week, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) joined Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA-3) as a cosponsor of H.J. Res. 116, a new Congressional Review Act resolution aimed at repealing a Department of Labor (DOL) final rule that attempts to restrict the ability of American workers to identify as independent contractors. By forcing this new DOL regulation, the Biden Administration is jeopardizing the livelihoods of 27 million Americans who work as independent contractors. The rule also creates a non-exhaustive six-factor litmus test to determine employment status and gives independent contractors less legal certainty around their employment. Without a concrete definition for independent contracting, the Biden Administration is barring countless Americans from valuable streams of income.
