OPINION OF THE COURT
HERLIHY, J.
In 1976, the Court of Appeals, in Matter of England (Levine) (38 NY2d 829), affirmed a determination that freelance shorthand reporters were employees of reporting services and not independent contractors. On July 24, 1978, chapter 600 of the Laws of 1978 was enacted and it added a new subdivision 18 to section 511 of the Labor Law specifically providing that the term “employment” does not include the services of freelance shorthand reporters for reporting services..Chapter 600 provided: “This act shall take effect immediately.”
