House Bill 2015 amends the Labor Code to require a person who contracts with a governmental entity to provide a service to properly classify, as an employee or independent contractor in accordance with the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act, any individual the person directly retains and compensates for services performed in connection with the contract. The bill applies this requirement to a subcontractor directly retained and compensated by a person who contracts with a governmental entity. The bill provides consequences for persons who fail to properly classify an individual in that manner.
