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.

2025casb00703i	2026	CA	SB	703	Requires trucking companies and independent truck drivers to provide specific information regarding employee classification before entering a port.	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. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245.	Rep.

2025mnhf00304i	2026	MN	HF	304	Motor fuels tax indexed increases repealed.	Repeals the annual indexed increases to motor fuels tax rates, basically freezing tax rates for various types of fuel. Eliminates the previous mechanism that automatically adjusted fuel tax rates each August based on the Minnesota Highway Construction Cost Index, which allowed for up to a 3% annual increase. Maintains the current base tax rates for different fuel types, including E85 (17.75 cents per gallon), M85 (14.25 cents per gallon), gasoline (25 cents per gallon), liquefied petroleum gas (18.75 cents per gallon), liquefied natural gas (15 cents per gallon), and compressed natural gas ($1.974 per thousand cubic feet). To mitigate potential revenue losses from eliminating the automatic tax increases, the bill requires the commissioner of management and budget to transfer funds from the general fund to the highway user tax distribution fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, based on estimates of revenue reduction. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a transition period and allowing for budget planning.	Rep.

Modifies Minnesota's vehicle weight regulations by increasing the maximum gross vehicle weight from 80,000 to 108,000 pounds and eliminating special hauling and overweight permits for trucks. The bill comprehensively updates multiple sections of Minnesota statutes related to vehicle registration, weight limits, and taxation, effectively standardizing the gross vehicle weight limit across different types of vehicles and transportation scenarios. Key changes include adjusting registration tax schedules to reflect the new weight limit, removing seasonal weight increase provisions, eliminating specific permits for hauling agricultural products, road construction materials, and other specialized freight, and simplifying the civil penalty structure for weight limit violations. The bill aims to streamline trucking regulations, potentially reducing administrative complexity and providing more consistent weight allowances for commercial vehicles.

Establishes a comprehensive Commercial Driver Training Assistance Program to support individuals seeking to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL). The program will provide financial assistance to eligible individuals who want to receive CDL training, with specific requirements for both applicants and training providers. Individuals must be Minnesota residents aged 18 or older, possess a valid driver's license, and have performed job shadows with potential employers. To receive funding, applicants must complete training from a registered provider, obtain a CDL within six months, and work in a CDL-required position for at least one year. The bill also modifies existing transportation regulations, including clarifying the definition of a "road test" and adjusting rules for third-party testing of drivers. The program is funded with a one-time appropriation of $6 million for fiscal year 2026, available until June 30, 2028. 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.

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.

Aims to consolidate and standardize the definition of "employee" across different chapters of Massachusetts state law. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 148B of Chapter 149 by expanding its reference to include not just Chapter 151, but also Chapter 152, which relates to workers' compensation. 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. By aligning definitions across different legal chapters, the bill seeks to reduce ambiguity and provide a more uniform interpretation of who qualifies as an employee.	Rep.

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.

Establishes the Wage Theft Notification and Protection Restricted Account. Imposes penalties and other relief.	Establishes the Wage Theft Notification and Protection Act, which aims to combat wage theft and protect employees' rights. Requires the Department of Labor and Industry to develop a clear, plain-language summary explaining wage theft, including examples, legal citations, remedies, and employee protections. Employers must provide this summary to employees within 90 days of the law's effective date or during hiring, and post it in a conspicuous workplace location or make it electronically accessible. The bill defines wage theft as the failure to pay or withhold legally due wages, benefits, or compensation. Employers who violate the notification requirements can face criminal penalties of up to $500 per violation, and the Department of Labor and Industry can assess additional civil penalties. The law also strictly prohibits retaliation against employees who report wage theft, with a 90-day presumption of retaliation if adverse action is taken against an employee after they exercise their rights. A new Wage Theft Notification and Protection Restricted Account is established to fund enforcement efforts, and the department must submit annual reports detailing wage theft violations, including the number of violations, impacted workers, and enforcement actions. The act will take effect four months after passage.	Sen.

Establishes the Workplace Misclassification Act, comprehensive criteria for determining whether a worker is an independent contractor or an employee in Pennsylvania, primarily focusing on industries outside of construction. Requires that independent contractors have a written, project-specific contract, be free from direction and control, and be genuinely engaged in an independently established business. To qualify as an independent contractor, individuals must possess their own tools, have the potential to profit or suffer loss from their work, operate through a business with a proprietary interest, maintain a separate business location, and either have previously performed similar services for others or market themselves as available for such services. Introduces penalties for employers who misclassify workers, including administrative fines up to $2,500 per violation, potential criminal charges ranging from summary offenses to felonies, and the possibility of being debarred from public work contracts for at least three years. Also, protects workers by allowing them to bring private legal actions if they are misclassified, with potential remedies including reinstatement, triple wage restitution, and attorney fees. The Department of Labor and Industry is tasked with enforcing these provisions, developing informational materials, and submitting annual reports to the General Assembly about the act's implementation.
