California Court Ruling Complicates Background Screening

The court decision would force California courts to removes full dates of birth and drivers' license numbers from their indices.

The court case is on appeal, but many counties are already making changes that impact how records can be searched for. Most notably, Los Angeles County has made the change as well as Tulare, Fresno, Kern, and Yuba Counties.

This change will increase the overall cost of conducting background checks and increase the turnaround time to receive verified information.
