...considered an employee rather than an independent contractor unless the hiring entity demonstrates that the person is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, the person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business, and the person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business.

AB 1561 and associatiated AB 1506 (2021) are about all the exemptions they added for all the other industries that were adversely affected by AB 5 and needed to be exempted to continue operating. They don't really have any bearing on rideshare or other app gig work like delivery, etc. Of course, this is just my opinion after reading them.

It's still all about AB5, Prop22, Dynamex and Bordello cases, and what the Dept. of Labor and FTC are about to do. Oh yeah, the FTC has gotten into the fray. There's a thread about it elsewhere.
