California Assembly’ Labor and Employment Committee Passes AB5 on Party Lines

California Franchise Network

April 30, 2019

By: Thomas M. O’Connell

Executive Summary

The California Assembly Labor and Employment Committee passed AB5 along party lines. The bill now moves to the Assembly’s Appropriations Committee for consideration.

Analysis

On April 30, 2019, California Assembly Labor and Employment Committee passed AB5 as amended on March 26, 2019. Votes were as follows:

Ayes

Wendy Carillo (D) – 52nd Assembly District

Lorena Gonzalez (D) – 80th Assembly District

Reginald Jones-Sawyer (D) – 59th Assembly District

Ash Kalra (D) – 27th Assembly District

Luz Rivas (D) – 39th Assembly District

Noes

None

NVR

Tyler Diep (R) – 72nd Assembly District

Heath Flora (R) – 9th Assembly District

The bill will now move to the California Assembly Appropriations Committee.

Looking Forward

While it is somewhat surprising that the Labor and Employment Committee limited its industry carve outs as much as they did before passing the bill, it is not surprising that they passed the bill along party lines. This is likely to be a common theme throughout this process and given labor’s strong support of AB5.
