2025casb00034i	2026	CA	SB	34	Limits the power of local air quality agencies to regulate emissions from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and restricts the use of public funds for port automation.	Governor's veto letter explained that the bill would have interfered with the SCAQMD's efforts to reduce air and climate pollution. He encouraged cooperative action between the ports and air quality regulators instead. This bill prevents the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) from imposing new regulations, such as a cap on cargo volumes or cruise ship passengers, at the ports. Requires extensive studies on the economic and workforce impacts of any new emissions rules and gives the ports a process to request extensions on achieving targets. Prohibits the use of state and local grant funding for automated, remotely controlled, or remotely operated equipment at the ports.	Sen.

Addresses regulations for truck drivers at California ports by requiring trucking companies and independent truck drivers to provide specific information before entering a port. Mandates that trucking companies with employee drivers must submit proof of workers' compensation insurance, the number of covered drivers, and a sworn statement about tax withholding. Independent truck drivers must provide documentation including proof of insurance, federal and state operating authorities, DOT numbers, and their Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC). Ports are required to publicly disclose the information provided by trucking companies on their websites and are prohibited from granting entry to trucking companies that fail to submit the required information. If a port allows entry to a non-compliant trucking company, it can be fined $60,000 per company. Requires ports to submit monthly reports to the Labor Commissioner with detailed information about each truck entering the port, such as driver name, truck owner, cargo owner, and registration details. Imposes significant civil penalties (up to $100,000) on individuals who provide false or misleading information to gain port entry. The legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability in port trucking operations, particularly regarding the classification of truck drivers as employees or independent contractors.	Sen.

2025iahf00348i	2026	IA	HF	348	Prohibits the misclassification of employees as independent contractors. Provides penalties, and includes applicability provisions.	Prohibits an employer from willfully misclassifying an individual who performs services for the employer in return for remuneration as an independent contractor rather than an employee with the effect of denying the individual eligibility for an employment benefit provided by law or for a government program. Whether an individual performs services as an employee or independent contractor is determined under regulations or guidelines of the federal internal revenue service in effect as of the date of an alleged misclassification. The bill is enforced by the Department of Workforce Development. An employer who violates this prohibition shall be subject to a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per misclassified individual for a first offense, up to $7,500 per misclassified individual for a second offense, and up to $10,000 per misclassified individual for each subsequent offense. The department shall provide written notice to an employer prior to imposition of a civil penalty. An employer may contest and seek judicial review of a determination of the department pursuant to Code chapter 17A. An employer shall bear the burden of proving that the employer did not misclassify an individual. Upon a final determination of the department that a violation occurred and the conclusion of the period for any appeals, the department shall bring an action in district court to collect the civil penalties for deposit in the general fund and refer the violation to a county attorney. A county attorney shall not be bound by any determination of the department. An employer who misclassifies an individual in violation of the bill commits a class “D” felony.

Driver training schools and employers must register with the state and meet specific criteria, such as providing job shadowing opportunities and offering entry-level driver support. The goal is to address workforce shortages in commercial driving by reducing financial barriers to obtaining a commercial driver's license.	Sen.

Establishes a local option gas tax that allows cities and towns to impose a 3-cent per gallon excise tax on fuel and special fuels sold to retail dealers within their jurisdiction. If a municipality chooses to adopt this tax, retail suppliers must collect and remit the tax to the state commissioner of revenue, who will then distribute the funds back to the respective city or town. The collected funds must be deposited into a Municipal Fuel Excise Transportation and Stormwater Fund and allocated equally across three purposes: (1) infrastructure maintenance and improvement (including roads, bridges, sidewalks, and drainage), (2) public transportation support (either to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority or a regional transit authority), and (3) alternative transportation initiatives like pedestrian and bicycle facilities, senior transportation programs, telecommuting, and carpool programs. The tax would be in addition to existing state fuel taxes, and municipalities can opt into the program through a local approval process, with implementation beginning 30 days after approval in the first calendar quarter. The bill also requires retail suppliers to file monthly reports with the commissioner detailing fuel sales, including the names and addresses of retail dealers, the number of gallons sold, and selling prices.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 1 of Chapter 152 by adding a provision that explicitly states that any reference to an "employee" in this chapter should have the same meaning as defined in Section 148B of Chapter 149. This change is designed to create more consistency in how workers are classified across different legal contexts, potentially helping to prevent misclassification of workers and ensuring that workers receive appropriate protections and benefits under Massachusetts law.

The bill defines an "electric vehicle" as a battery electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle that can be recharged from an external electricity source. Under the proposed legislation, vehicle owners would be required to pay an annual charge based on the miles driven within the state, calculated by comparing odometer readings from vehicle inspections. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation would be responsible for developing regulations to calculate and collect these charges, including establishing penalties for late payments. Vehicles already exempt from certain taxes under existing law would be excluded from this charge. Allows vehicle owners to potentially reduce their charges by providing evidence of miles driven outside Massachusetts.

The task force will conduct at least six public hearings across the state's highway districts and gather public input on a proposed pilot program. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will develop and implement a statewide pilot program involving at least 1,000 volunteer drivers from diverse vehicle types and regions, who will have mileage-tracking equipment installed in their vehicles. The pilot program aims to test technologies for counting, reporting, and collecting miles-traveled fees while also evaluating data protection, driver privacy, and potential variable pricing based on factors like driving time, road type, vehicle efficiency, and driver income. Participants will be compensated to ensure they do not pay more than they would under the current tax system. The department will seek federal funding and must submit a comprehensive report to state legislative committees within three years, examining the feasibility of a permanent vehicle mileage user fee, its potential economic and environmental impacts, and comparisons to existing taxation methods.

Expands and strengthens regulations for intermodal chassis inspections at port terminals, changing the existing law to require (instead of merely authorize) port terminals to conduct roadability inspections. Broadens the definition of "port terminal" to include ocean marine terminals and other terminals within port master plan areas, and eliminates previous conditions related to the number of chassis and prior compliance ratings. The inspection requirements now include additional areas of examination such as container connecting devices, mud flaps, landing legs, and frame damage, and mandate verification of other required inspections. Requires defects to be repaired before a motor carrier can transport an intermodal container, with a violation being classified as an infraction. The inspection record retention period is extended from 90 days to 6 months, and if a port terminal fails a reinspection, the California Highway Patrol must direct the terminal to conduct additional inspections at 30-day intervals. Expands protections against retaliation for drivers who report chassis safety concerns, extending these protections to cover a broader range of entities beyond ocean marine terminal operators. Creates new potential criminal violations, which triggers a state-mandated local program provision, though no specific reimbursement is required.	Asm.

2025caab01023i	2026	CA	AB	1023	Addresses coastal development permits and procedures related to transitioning port operations to zero-emission technology.	Requires a coastal development permit associated with the Zero Emissions Port Electrification and Operations project to be considered to be within the boundaries of the Los Angeles Harbor District, and would provide the Los Angeles Harbor Department the sole authority to review the permit application and issue an associated coastal development permit on behalf of all jurisdictions ordinarily required to review the application. By placing additional duties on the Los Angeles Harbor District and the Los Angeles Harbor Department regarding the review and approval of coastal development permits for the project, the bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill would require any additional development projectto install infrastructure or purchase or deploy equipment at a terminal within the boundary of the Port of Los Angeles’s Port Master Plan that is not exempt from a coastal development permit to acquire a separate coastal development permit in conformity with the Port of Los Angeles’s Port Master Plan. The bill would require the appropriate state agency to render a decision on an application for a permit required for the project, or an additional project associated with the completion of the project, within 90 days of submission of the application and, if no action is taken by the appropriate state agency within that time period, would provide that the permit shall be deemed issued. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Port of Los Angeles. explicitly prohibits using its streamlined procedures or specific project funds to deploy, purchase, or install fully automated cargo-handling equipment. This ensures that the electrification process focuses on human-operated equipment.	Asm.

Under the bill, to determine whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor, all information that provides evidence of the degree of control and the degree of independence is to be considered. Facts that provide evidence of the degree of control and independence fall into three categories: (A) behavioral control; (B) financial control; and (C) the type of relationship of the parties. In making an employment determination any guidance on determining a worker’s employment status provided by the federal Internal Revenue Service in the United States Department of the Treasury is to be considered.

2026njscr00062i	2026	NJ	SCR	62	Declares that new rules proposed by the NJDOL are inconsistent with legislative intent regarding the "ABC test" for worker classification.	Revises the statutory definition of certain waterfront workers consistent with the requirements of federal P.L.92-544. Under federal P.L.92-544, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is authorized to exchange criminal history record information with officials of State and local governments only if authorized by state statute and approved by the Attorney General of the United States. The FBI, with the assistance of the United States Department of Justice, has determined that federal P.L.92-544 requires that state statutes meet certain criteria, which include, among other things, that the statute specifically identify the category of persons required to be fingerprinted for purposes of obtaining criminal history record information. Accordingly, to retain access to the FBI Criminal Justice Information Service, the bill revises certain statutory definitions to more specifically identify the category of persons required to be fingerprinted. Specifically, adds new definitions to clarify roles in waterfront industries, including "director" (a board member overseeing a stevedoring enterprise), "officer" (a managing executive controlling stevedoring operations), "owner" (a person with an ownership interest in a stevedoring enterprise), "partner" (an owner of a partnership interest), and "telecommunications system controller" (a person operating a specific shipping management system). Modifies existing definitions such as "hiring agent" and "stevedore" to provide more precise language about who can select longshoremen for employment and what constitutes a stevedoring business. These changes are designed to help the state retain access to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Service by more specifically identifying the categories of people who may be required to be fingerprinted for background checks. The modifications aim to provide greater clarity and specificity in defining roles and responsibilities within the waterfront and shipping industries, particularly in the New York harbor district	Sen.

2026njacr00073i	2026	NJ	ACR	73	Declares that new rules proposed by the NJDOL are inconsistent with legislative intent regarding the "ABC test" for worker classification.	Revises the statutory definition of certain waterfront workers consistent with the requirements of federal P.L.92-544. Under federal P.L.92-544, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is authorized to exchange criminal history record information with officials of State and local governments only if authorized by state statute and approved by the Attorney General of the United States. The FBI, with the assistance of the United States Department of Justice, has determined that federal P.L.92-544 requires that state statutes meet certain criteria, which include, among other things, that the statute specifically identify the category of persons required to be fingerprinted for purposes of obtaining criminal history record information. Accordingly, to retain access to the FBI Criminal Justice Information Service, the bill revises certain statutory definitions to more specifically identify the category of persons required to be fingerprinted. Specifically, adds new definitions to clarify roles in waterfront industries, including "director" (a board member overseeing a stevedoring enterprise), "officer" (a managing executive controlling stevedoring operations), "owner" (a person with an ownership interest in a stevedoring enterprise), "partner" (an owner of a partnership interest), and "telecommunications system controller" (a person operating a specific shipping management system). Modifies existing definitions such as "hiring agent" and "stevedore" to provide more precise language about who can select longshoremen for employment and what constitutes a stevedoring business. These changes are designed to help the state retain access to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Service by more specifically identifying the categories of people who may be required to be fingerprinted for background checks. The modifications aim to provide greater clarity and specificity in defining roles and responsibilities within the waterfront and shipping industries, particularly in the New York harbor district.
