Musicians' Groups, California Legislators Propose Gig-Economy Law Amendment
Top musicians' groups and two California legislators have unveiled a proposed amendment to the controversial gig-economy law AB 5 to ease its impact on music professionals. The amendment — which represents a compromise between AB 5 author Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, Majority Leader Ian Calderon and several musicians' rights groups including the Recording Academy and the American Federation of Musicians — exempts the majority of musicians, vocalists, recording artists, composers, songwriters, lyricists, musical engineers, sound mixers and record producers from being subject to AB 5's strict "ABC Test" to determine their worker classification in the recording studio.
