Committee hears lengthy proponent testimony for bill to create voluntary portable benefits for independent contractors House Bill 2602 would authorize voluntary portable benefit plans administered by third-party providers, let hiring parties contribute to individual portable benefit accounts, and provide state tax treatment for contributions beginning tax year ending 12/31/2026; proponents emphasized the bill preserves independent contractor status and is non-mandatory.

A groundbreaking bill in Kansas is set to revolutionize benefits for over 220,000 independent workers by allowing them to create portable benefit accounts that follow them, not their jobs.
