House Committee Passes Independent Contractor CRA

On March 21, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce passed the ABC-supported H.J. Res. 116, the Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the U.S. Department of Labor’s independent contractor final rule, in a 21-13 vote with all Republicans present voting in support. Ahead of the markup, ABC sent a letter in support of the resolution and urged committee members to report it for a full House vote.
