Existing law, Wage Order No. 5-2001 of the Industrial Welfare Commission, applies to persons employed in the public housekeeping industry, addresses wages, hours, and working conditions, and also exempts employees in administrative, executive, or professional capacities if their duties meet certain requirements.This bill would require that an employee employed to provide instruction for a course or laboratory at an independent institution of higher education, as defined, be classified as employed in a professional capacity, and therefore exempt from the wage and hour provisions of Wage Order No. 4-2001, or those of Wage Order No. 5-2001, as well as specified provisions of the Labor Code, if that person meets specified criteria, including being employed in a professional capacity as prescribed, being paid on a salary basis, and receiving one of alternative minimum compensations.

Existing federal law, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act exempts from taxation distributions from a qualified tuition program, as defined, rolled into an ABLE account.Existing law, the Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, conforms to these federal income tax law provisions relating to the ABLE Act, as provided. Existing law creates the ABLE Act Board and requires the board to provide an annual listing of distributions to individuals that have an interest in an ABLE account to the Franchise Tax Board, as provided.This bill, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, and before January 1, 2026, would conform to those changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act with respect to rollovers to ABLE accounts from a qualified tuition program account.This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY2/3  Appropriation: NO  Fiscal Committee: YES  Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
