WATCH: 2023 Rhode Island Legislative Update

This is a special end-of-session legislative update from State Director Christopher Carlozzi and Grassroots Manager Julianna Rauf for Rhode Island business owners. Carlozzi is your line to what’s happening in the legislature and Rauf is your contact for member engagement and advocacy.
WATCH: Our NIFB team provides a summary of key legislation important to employers including tax reform, independent contractor filings, stricter laws on misclassification/wage theft, and other proposals that became law in 2023.
We will also highlight some of the beneficial and harmful bills that did not make it across the finish line this year. Unfortunately, many of these bills will resurface in 2024. That is why it’s so important that you stay engaged and share your stories! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
