Summary

The bill adds a new exemption to California’s unemployment‑insurance definition of “employment” for individuals who primarily sell products or services directly to consumers, including door‑to‑door, telephone, or online sales, provided they meet licensing, compensation, and contract conditions. It also makes a technical clarification to the rule that insurers cannot deny collision or comprehensive auto policies based solely on a vehicle’s age when its market value exceeds $2,500. The changes aim to better align worker classification with modern sales practices while leaving existing auto‑insurance protections unchanged.
