Effective August 30, 2018, significant changes to California's Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, took effect. To help you understand your responsibilities to comply with it, PHTA developed a Prop 65 Bulletin. We encourage all members who do business in California to download and review it.
Assembly Bill 5 was passed by the Legislature on September 9, and signed by Governor Newsom on September 18. AB 5 confirms and expands upon the April 2018 decision by the California Supreme Court in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court. This decision and AB 5 will apply the "ABC" test to the question of employee vs. independent contractor.
