Senate approves casual domestic workers exemption bill
The California Senate voted 27 to 7 to exempt casual domestic workers from new workers' compensation coverage under AB133. The measure, seeking immediate effect if signed by Gov Brown, would exclude casual labor such as neighborhood youths who mow lawns unless workers meet 52 hours and $100 earned in three months for a single employer. It would require homeowners and renters policies to cover insured domestics at about five dollars yearly per household.
