Idaho House Bill 645, known as the Portable Benefit Plan Act, has been signed into law by the governor after passing with strong bipartisan support (64-3 in the House, 25-7 in the Senate). The bill establishes a framework for portable benefits, which typically allows workers—especially gig workers, contractors, and those in non-traditional employment—to maintain benefits like health insurance, retirement savings, or paid leave even when they change jobs or work for multiple employers.
While the summary doesn't specify exact details of Idaho's plan, portable benefit systems generally aim to provide more economic security for workers in today's changing economy where people frequently switch between different types of employment arrangements.
