This is a California-specific question, but so many of us on this list
_are_ in California or work for California companies, so I hope it's
okay to bring this up in the list email...
I recent mentioned (in the Write the Docs Slack community) California's
AB5 and the subsequent Prop 22 rules, and how they've affected tech
writing consultants. Someone just asked me if AB-2257 helps in any way?
I've quickly looked at it
([1]https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_
id=201920200AB2257), but not with sufficient time or attention to
figure it out yet.
So, is anyone already familiar with this? It predates Prop 22 (I
think), so I'm not sure whether it has any effect a this point.
@Robert, I know that you're pretty familiar with these laws. Have you
thoughts/explanations for it?
Thanks,
-Monique
