I thought California did this years ago?

Prop 22 went into effect on December 16, 2020. If you’re dashing in California, here’s a quick breakdown of how Prop 22 impacts your experience:
When you dash in California you earn at least 120% of minimum wage (based on the local minimum wage at the pick-up location) for active time on the platform (time spent on a delivery, starting from when you accept an offer to when you complete it), plus $0.34 per mile during active time, when driving a motor vehicle (for example, a car, motorcycle, motor scooter).
Keep in mind:
Guaranteed earnings are just a minimum.
If you earn more than this, you always keep the entire amount.
Tips don’t count toward your guaranteed earnings. >
