AB 360, as introduced, Alejo. Workers’ compensation: independent contractors.
Existing law establishes a workers’ compensation system for the compensation of employees for any injury or death arising out of and in the course of their employment, as specified. For the purposes of workers’ compensation law, existing law defines an independent contractor as a person who renders service for a specified payment for a specified result, under the control of his or her principal as to the result of his or her work only, and not as to the means by which that result is accomplished.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
