Allows hiring parties to contribute to portable benefit accounts for independent contractors.

Mississippi HB866 establishes portable benefit accounts for independent contractors. Hiring parties can contribute to these accounts, which are owned by the contractors and managed by a third-party provider. Contributions can come from hiring parties or withheld compensation, with written agreement required. Accounts fund benefit plans like health insurance and retirement benefits, and cannot be used to determine employment classification.
