New Law in California Prohibits Credit Checks on Applicants or Employees
AB 22 which went into effect January 1, 2012, prohibits employers and prospective employers, not including certain financial institutions, from obtaining and using consumer credit reports about applicants or employees. The provision does not apply to "managerial positions" defined as those who qualify for the executive exemption from overtime. There are also other limited exceptions. |
What We Anticipate in the
Arizona Legislative Session
Among the efforts to aid in the economic recovery in Arizona, and closing the state's revenue gap, we anticipate legislation to reduce licensing and permit related fees, regulatory reforms to expedite the permitting process and increased transparency in administrative rule making within county and municipal governments. We will be monitoring this potential reduction of fees, processes and regulations during the year. For more information, contact our Arizona based legislative advocate, Stuart Goodman (email) or 602.277.0911. |
