Federal Legislative Watch From NCISS
PRO Act
(Wes Bearden, NCISS President / Legislative Chair - Investigations)
The PRO act is really two parts. The majority of the act deals with the ability of unions to organize more easily. The act is
supported by labor unions and is likely heavily opposed by anyone in business. The act alters the definition of
independent contractor from the Common Law Control test to the ABC test – please research these differences. The ABC
test is what now exists in California with exemptions. Not all states use the ABC test, some use the A & C sections only.
The ABC test on a national scale could be disastrous. Investigators and security are not the target of this legislation but,
as usual, collateral damage. The direct target are the “gig” economy workers such as Uber or Lyft.
-- NCISS and state associations members can look for more details in upcoming association newsetters

[UPDATE] Colorado and Other State Legislative News
The Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado (PPIAC – www.PPIAC.org) continues to closely monitor
pending and introduced legislation. Colorado has seen multiple bills introduced, which impact our profession and our
clients.
