Emergency Preamble
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to Whereas the employment of workers on a remote or virtual basis has grown exponentially in the last decade; and whereas the provision of remote services and labor has become a staple of contemporary employment and has proven invaluable to employers in securing a stable and productive workforce, employees in providing an added benefit without hampering productivity, and the Commonwealth in public health and other state emergencies, by facilitating “shelter-in-place” and “stay-at-home” orders without hampering the Commonwealth’s economic development or productivity;, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
