Overview
This bill amends California’s Unemployment Insurance Code to expand an existing exemption for certain sales professionals. Specifically, it adds door-to-door, telephone, and online person-to-person sales activities, as well as sales on a buy-sell or deposit-commission basis, to the list of occupations exempt from being classified as ‘employment’ for unemployment insurance purposes. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the state’s insurance code regarding automobile insurance, prohibiting insurers from refusing coverage solely based on a vehicle’s age if its market value exceeds $2,500. These changes do not apply to policies covering wear and tear or antique automobiles.
