HECTOR CASTELLANOS et al., Plaintiffs and Respondents, v. STATE OF CALIFORNIA et al., Defendants and Appellants; PROTECT APP-BASED DRIVERS AND SERVICES et al., Interveners and Appellants., 89 Cal. App. 5th 131

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-The appellate court concluded that Proposition 22, the Protect App-Based Drivers and Services Act, Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 7448-7467, which sets forth conditions for an app-based driver to qualify as an independent contractor, does not intrude on the Legislature's workers' compensation authority; [2]-Proposition 22 does not violate the single-subject rule of Cal. Const., art. II, § 8, subd. (d); [3]-However, Bus. & Prof. Code, § 7465, subd. (c)(3) & (4), are facially invalid on separation of powers grounds because they intrude on the judiciary's authority to determine what constitutes an amendment to Proposition 22; [4]-Section 7465, subd. (c)(4), fails for the additional reason that it intrudes on the Legislature's authority by artificially expanding the Proposition's Cal. Const., art. II, § 10, subd. (c), shadow.
