California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill, known as AB5, on Wednesday. It goes into effect on Jan. 1 and could roil the gig economy if companies are forced to replace independent contractors with employees who earn at least the state minimum wage of $12 per hour and are eligible for expense reimbursement and benefits such as health insurance and paid time off.
