Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Foxx for yielding.

I rise today in support of our Nation's workers and businesses. We must find ways to work together to help our economy recover from COVID- 19.

However, this bill is not the answer, and it is not even close. This bill will nationalize the disastrous California policies that have forced businesses out of my State, killed jobs, and hurt workers.

As we saw in California, businesses that can afford lobbyists eventually get carveouts, while small businesses are left holding the bag.

The last thing we should be doing during this time is passing legislation that will kill jobs and make our recovery even harder. From Uber and Lyft drivers to financial advisers to local artists, we should support workers' freedom, our gig economy, and create policies to promote innovation.

We should learn from the failings of AB-5 in California and vote ``no'' on the PRO Act.
