CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
Last week, along with CTA staff, a group of Owner Operators walked the halls of the state capitol to fight for their livelihood. The group responded to a call for action from CTA to staff to meet with Senators on the need to address the trucking industry in Assembly Bill (AB) 5, which will codify the disastrous Dynamex decision.
CARB has proposed a fleet reporting requirement as part of the Advanced Clean Truck regulation that could apply to entities with California gross receipts greater than $50 million annually, motor carriers, freight forwarders and brokers that own or dispatch 100 or more trucks, port terminal operators, and others. CARB will be taking feedback on the reporting requirement during their public workshop on June 20. If your company has 100 or more trucks or is a large company that utilizes medium or heavy duty vehicles, this requirement will impact you and we urge you to attend this workshop.
Assembly Bill (AB) 5, the bill that would codify the Dynamex Decision into law, is currently in the Senate. The bill is going through the committee process where a final decision will be made before September 13th on whether the bill becomes a law. AB 5 is the #1 Priority of the Labor Federation and if the bill passes it will put an end to the owner operator business model.
