SB091

Exclusion of Newspaper Deliverers as Employees

Failed·5/6/26

Excludes newspaper deliverers from the definition of "employee" in Colorado Employment Security Act.

The bill modifies the Colorado Employment Security Act to exclude individuals engaged in the trade or business of delivering or distributing newspapers or shopping news from the definition of "employee." This exclusion applies if the remuneration is directly related to sales or output, and the services are performed under a written contract that specifies the individual is not treated as an employee for federal tax purposes. This change aims to align state labor laws with federal tax treatment for certain newspaper deliverers.
