CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
Truck Tech 2020 and Beyond!
VISIT THE CONFERENCE PAGE FOR FULL INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION On December 31, 2019 United States District Judge Robert T. Benitez granted CTA’s request for a temporary restraining order enjoining enforcement of AB 5. The Court found that CTA met its burden for a temporary restraining order and enjoined the State from enforcing AB 5 as to any motor carrier operating in California, pending resolution of our motion for a preliminary injunction. The Court also found that CTA and the individual plaintiffs had standing. The Court based its ruling on the FAAAA and declined to address, at this time, our Dormant Commerce Clause challenge. The hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction is set for January 13, 2020.

The new law, which was set to go into effect on January 1, 2020, would outlaw mandatory arbitration agreements with employees and prohibit arbitration agreements that would require individuals to take affirmative action to be excluded from arbitration. Judge Kimberly Mueller concluded that it would be disruptive if the statute went into effect briefly and was later overturned. The TRO keeps the status quo in place while the court considers the request for preliminary injunction. More information Compliance and Regulatory News
