California Supreme Court
Eileen Connor, Plaintiff and Appellant v. First Student, Inc., Defendants and Respondents.
August 20, 2018236 Cal. Rptr. 3d 826
Summary
The court held that partial overlap between the Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act and the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act does not make either statute unconstitutionally vague when their requirements are otherwise clear. Because the employer's background investigation concerned the employee's character and other personal characteristics, it was subject to the Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act, including its written-authorization requirement, even though the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act also applied. The court affirmed the Court of Appeal's judgment and remanded for further proceedings.
