What SB 527 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill aims to clarify worker classification for athletic coaches working in elementary or secondary private schools or local educational agencies. The bill would extend the exemption from the "ABC test" to sports coaches in these settings, instead applying a multifactor test. This exemption is intended to provide greater clarity and consistency for these specific occupations and business relationships. The bill defines terms, including "sports coach," for these purposes, to ensure accurate application of the exemption.
