State
On September 28, 2024, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1100. This new legislation takes effect on January 1, 2025, and will make it an unlawful employment practice in California for employers to require job applicants to possess a valid driver’s license unless there is a bona fide occupational qualification or a reasonable expectation that the position requires driving and alternative forms of transportation are either inefficient or create an additional cost to the employer.
The City of Sacramento is currently reviewing all classification specifications and positions to ensure compliance with Senate Bill 1100, and ensure our hiring practices align with the new regulatory requirements.
