SCOTUS had denied the CTA’s petition to review California’s AB5 law
🧑⚖️ The Supreme Court has denied the California Trucking Association’s petition to review their case against AB5 - the controversial bill aimed to redefine independent contractors in the Golden State.
This move will likely end the traditional leased owner-operator business model in California, leaving many fleets scrambling to fill driver seats. The injunction will now be lifted, and trucking companies will no longer be exempt from the law within seven days. AB5 created strict criteria for a worker’s classification status, whether they can qualify as an employee or contractor.
