INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Alejo

                        FEBRUARY 14, 2013

   An act to amend Section 3353 of the Labor Code, relating to
workers' compensation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   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.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 3353 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
   3353.  "Independent contractor" means  any  
a  person who renders service for a specified recompense for a
specified result, under the control of his  or her 
principal as to the result of his  or her  work 
only   only,  and not as to the means by which
 such   that  result is accomplished.
