Effective January 1, 2025, California SB 1100 restricts employers from including a statement in job advertisements, postings, applications or other material that applicants must have a driver’s license.
Employers may still include that requirement if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
- The employer reasonably expects driving to be one of the job functions for the position.
- The employer reasonably believes that satisfying the job function described in paragraph (1) using an alternative form of transportation would not be comparable in travel time or cost to the employer.
“Alternative form of transportation” includes, but is not limited to, the following: using a ride hailing service, using a taxi, carpooling, bicycling, or walking.
