Amends GS 96-1, containing definitions related to Employment Security Law, to add that the term employment includes service described in section 3306(c)(15)(A) or (B) of the Internal Revenue Code involving delivery or distribution of newspapers or shopping news or involving the sale of newspapers or magazines.

Amends GS 97-2, by deleting the provision that created a rebuttable presumption that the term "employee" did not include a person performing services in the sale of newspapers or magazines to consumers under an arrangement where papers or magazines were sold to the person at a fixed price and compensation was based on on the retention of the excess of the fixed price over the amount charged.
