Concerned citizens across California are all asking each other the same question: what\u2019s being done to combat AB 5?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is, thankfully, <em>a lot<\/em>. Republican lawmakers have already come out with several measures to attack AB 5 in every way possible. Whether it be through worker exemptions or a complete repeal, these options serve as a way for citizens to protest AB 5 in a manner that will tangibly change the legislation itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Protest.jpg\" width=\"462\" height=\"231\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is one outright repeal measure sponsored by Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, AB 1928, which would completely repeal AB 5 based on the rulings in two prior court cases, <em>Dynamex Operations West Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles<\/em> and <em>Borello Sons Inc. v. Department of Industrial Relations<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Senators Shannon Grove and Brian Jones co-authored SB 875, which aims to exempt interpreters and translators from being roped into AB 5\u2019s definition of \u201cfreelance worker.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AB 1925, sponsored by Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, was written to exempt small businesses from AB 5, defining a small business as an independently-owned business that is not dominant in its field of operation with fewer than 100 employees and an average of under $15 million in gross receipts over the previous three years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senator Patricia Bates penned two bills\u2014SB 867 and SB 868\u2014to address criticisms coming from freelance journalists, who have been more than vocal about their opposition of AB 5. One of the bills intends on making newspaper delivery carriers a permanent exemption from AB 5, as Gonzales had agreed to a one-year temporary exemption for carriers during the bill debates last year. The other aims to exempt all freelance journalists, regardless of the number of submissions they make to their publications per year. As it stands today, AB 5 limits freelancers to 35 pieces per publication before they would be required to become an employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Californians who have been impacted by AB 5\u2019s passage will want to keep a close eye on the many pieces of legislation picking the bill apart in the coming months. Their legislators want to offer them an opportunity to push back, and it\u2019s ripe for the taking. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez\u2019s AB 5 has already generated a lot of pushback for being one of the worst bills ever passed in California\u2014and that&#8217;s saying a lot\u2014but pushback isn\u2019t fixing any of the problems that it has caused.
