In plain English
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) sponsored this bill to change how federal labor law defines joint employment. Under the bill, a person can only be considered a joint employer of another employer's workers if that person directly, actually, and immediately exercises significant control over essential employment terms and conditions—demonstrated through actions like hiring and firing, setting individual pay and benefits, supervising day-to-day work, assigning schedules and tasks, or disciplining employees. The House passed the rule for debate on this bill on January 13, 2026.
