Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed AB 1561 to extend the sunset dates on the exemptions granted to licensed manicurists and construction trucking subcontractors from the provisions of AB 5. AB 5 sets forth the test for whether a worker is an independent contractor or employee.
The exemptions will now sunset on Jan. 1, 2025, providing each industry three additional years to determine compliance with AB 5.
AB 1561 also clarifies the scope of the exemption granted to a data aggregator and a research subject who willingly engages with a data aggregator to provide individualized feedback.
