AB 5 codified the California Supreme Court decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles (2018) and expanded the scope of the “ABC Test” for worker classification in the state. Over the course of its first year, AB 5 has faced a number of hurdles, including legal challenges and ballot-based initiatives.
