Worker classification: employees and independent contractors: athletic coaches.

Summary

The bill adds a new Labor Code section that says athletic coaches at private elementary or secondary schools, or local education agencies, are not subject to the Dynamex ABC test. Instead, their status will be decided using the older Borello multifactor test, but only if the coaching job meets specific hiring and compensation conditions. This changes how schools classify coaches and could limit wage‑and‑benefit obligations.
