“I don’t believe legislators realized the impact this had...” They never do. And they never care.
Big corporations love stomping the little guy with big socialist government help.
California legislators giving da business to California business.. Business as usual.
If this state could implode from corruption, it would.

Owner/Operators of trucks are getting squeezed.
The affected may complain but will still vote for Democraps next election.
There is NO connecting the dots for these legislators or their voters
Thanks a lot, you farging iceholes, from those who are on a meager fixed income, disabled and dependent on services such as Instacart as their only means of getting groceries.
This has a creepy feel to it, as if legislators are some kind of super-humans who would never do something bad unless something derails their heroic attempts at fixing all our lives. I have news for you, Gene. The class of taxpayer-supported leeches known as legislators are perfectly capable of not caring about bad side effects, of doing things that are just plain stupid, of doing things to advance an agenda that helps them and not you. If you work for a living, they're no smarter than you are, and most likely less so.
Most laws that carve out exceptions that merely establish protected groups that otherwise are no different than everyone else, are usually ethically and morally wrong to begin with. If the idea is “right” then why isn’t it univerally right. The answer is political. They need some of the population to support the law, against the others to whom the law will apply, so enough votes have to be bought to get the law passed, which would be impossible if it was going to be applied universally.
You have to understand what laws are for in californication. Propose anything controversial and then milk contributions galiore from all sides. This is why crooks pay millions of dollars for a temporary $174,009 job. Sell your votes to the highest bidder but be sure to collect ALL bribes from all sides FIRST.
It doesn’t affect the state. When I run a dozer under contract for Cal Fire, I am doing precisely what full-time firefighters do but as a freelance contractor. If the government had to abide by the inane laws they pass, they might not pass so many.
They knew exactly what they were doing, they wanted to destroy Uber.
Is this just a rehash of the 1099 vs W2 question?
The ones getting exemptions are the ones paying tribute.
This is a common trait running through liberal legislation.
At the time I was a field engineer, but I had previously worked for an education company as a networking instructor, and had kept my instruction certifications current. The software company Novell had me come in as a contract instructor, to teach a class to their employees on a new product that I had been working with since the alpha test days.
The class was at Novell headquarters in Provo, UT, using Novell's computers, software, and some related training materials. Never mind that I did NOT work for Novell, I worked for a company in Kansas City as a network engineer who also happened to hold Novell Instructor credentials (I was authorized to teach 21 official Novell courses as a "Master Certified Novell Instructor."
But because of the situation of the class, the state and federal governments all claimed that I was an employee of Novell, even though the contract wasn't between Novell and myself, but the company for which I worked. It took multiple lawyers to straighten it out. Eventually I did get "certified" as a contractor for Novell, though it took several weeks and forced the class to be delayed.

California Democrats are stupid, in competent , Marxists in training. If something works well, they must destroy it. It is a mental illness that can destroy our society. Lobotomies time Nov. 2020.
