First Student Bus Driver’s Aide Wins Appeal on Constitutionality of California’s Background Check Statute

In a published opinion, the California Court of Appeal upheld the constitutionality of one of California’s background check statutes, the Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act. The Second Appellate District, Division Four, reversed summary judgment for the defendant school bus driver companies, holding that the Investigative Act is not unconstitutional just because the employer might also have to comply with an additional state background check law, the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act. Co-counsel Hunter Pyle and Tanya Tambling at Sundeen Salinas & Pyle, along with Catha Worthman and Todd Jackson at Feinberg, Jackson, Worthman & Wasow, represent the plaintiff and more than 1,000 school bus drivers and aides in related cases who have filed suit challenging the unlawful background checks.
