I don't live or work in CA anymore, but if I read this correctly, the only thing that's changing is the list of people who are exempted from the law.

As a 1099 contractor, the only thing you need to be aware of is the employee/contractor test, so that you can use it to stop your clients from imposing employee-type requirements on you (working specific hours, working on-site, etc.)

The only negative consequence to you of having the state reclassify you from 1099 to W2 for any given client is that you lose the ability to claim tax deductions for your business expenses related to that client.

Thank you, Robert. I tried reading the text of the bill, and could only discern that I am happy not to be working in Cafilornia or for anything that seems to be there. It looks like you have found the parts the continue to allow contract tech writing, at least temporarily.

Perhaps each writer should hire a specialist lawyer, full time, for advice on these matters. "My rate for tech writing? That's $355 per hour. $300 of that is for my lawyer."
