SB527 exempts certain sports coaches from employee classification under California law.

SB527 adds a new section to the California Labor Code, exempting certain sports coaches from employee classification. This exemption applies if the coach position was initially offered only to credentialed teachers or educational staff and went unfilled, or if it was a head coach position offered only to credentialed teachers. The exemption also applies if the position was then offered to the general public on a volunteer basis or by stipend, for a specified sport and season, with no further employment obligations.
