    Gov. inks law redefining independent construction contractors By Sean O'Hara, New Mexico Business Weekly
    The legislation, drafted by the Albuquerque-based Mountain West Regional Council of Carpenters, mandates that the state clearly define and establish standards for the construction industry to identify when a worker is an independent contractor and not an employee.

    The MWRCC says an independent contractor should be a person who assumes financial responsibility for errors, possesses commercial advertising or business cards, and that he or she has the authority to hire and fire employees to perform the labor or services.
