About the Program
Recent developments in background screening, fair hiring laws, and the use of artificial intelligence in employment decisions continue to create significant compliance challenges for employers nationwide. Expanding Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) theories, increased regulatory scrutiny, and evolving state and local fair chance requirements are reshaping risk assessments and hiring practices.
In this timely program, our speakers will discuss key legal and regulatory updates affecting pre-employment background checks and fair hiring compliance, with a particular focus on emerging litigation and compliance trends and the growing role of AI-driven tools.
Attendees will gain practical insights into how these developments may impact hiring strategies, vendor relationships, and compliance programs in the months ahead.
Topics include:
- Expansion of FCRA claims and recent class action trends involving background screening and AI based hiring tools
- California fair hiring developments, including proposed amendments, agency guidance, and an expanded definition of “employer”
- Federal, state, and local legal updates, including proposed changes to the FCRA and developments in Washington, Philadelphia, and New York
- Being positioned for success in front of courts and regulators
