Congressional Republicans, including Rep. Kiley and Sen. Bill Cassidy, have introduced legislation aimed at overturning a Biden administration regulation that they claim threatens the livelihoods of 27 million American independent workers. The regulation in question seeks to alter the classification of workers, making it more challenging for companies to label individuals as independent contractors. This legislative move is a response to concerns that the rule could overregulate aspects of American life, particularly affecting how workers earn their income. Key figures such as Chair Virginia Foxx and Senators like Mitt Romney and James Lankford have voiced their opposition, highlighting the potential impact on the economy and the autonomy of workers in states like Utah and Oklahoma, emphasizing the importance of protecting Utah's tens of thousands and OK workers and businesses.
