California continues to disrupt long held compliance assumptions. In 2018, California’s highest court affirmed the constitutionality of the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA), ending speculation as to the potential enforcement of the statute.
The ICRAA diverges in a number of important ways from the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, creating compliance challenges and competitive opportunities for any businesses. The ICRAA also has substantial damages remedies for consumers and allows class action litigation, making compliance essential for any business producing or using consumer reports in California and/or for California residents.
This webinar – lead by partners Ron Raether and Tim St. George – will identify those compliance challenges, the current state of the law, and discuss some potential strategies for compliance with the ICRAA.
