Criminal Background Checks in California (LA County)

 Background check companies ("consumer reporting agencies") rely on searching indexes for criminal background checks in California state records and elsewhere. Effective February 23, 2024, Los Angeles County will no longer include even a partial date of birth (i.e. the month and year of birth) as criteria in its criminal name search engines. With that said, companies can expect both delays or “unperformable search” results, unless there is legislation to overcome the Court of appeal's opinion.
