Recognizing the contributions of independent workers and contractors to the American economy.

House Resolution 72 is a non-binding measure that formally acknowledges the economic importance of the millions of Americans who work as freelancers, independent contractors, and app-based earners. The resolution expresses congressional support for the flexibility and autonomy these work arrangements provide and recognizes their role in driving innovation and growth across various industries. While the resolution does not change existing labor laws or create new regulations, it serves as an official statement of policy preference in favor of protecting the independent work model.
