California's new law prohibits employers from requiring a driver's license in job postings unless driving is a necessary job function, aiming to improve employment opportunities.
Supporters of the law argue that demanding a driver's license unfairly discriminates against people with disabilities and urban residents reliant on public transport, restricting their employment chances.
Driver's license requirements in job applications disproportionately affect people of color, as many are less likely to possess a driving license and face additional barriers.
The amendment to California's Fair Employment & Housing Act seeks to ensure fairer hiring practices and reduce barriers for those lacking a driver's license.
