The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits various forms of employment discrimination.

Senate Bill 1100 (SB 1100) amends the FEHA to make it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to include statements about the need for a driver’s license in job advertisements, postings, applications, and similar employment material, unless the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the employer reasonably expects driving to be one of the job functions for the position, and (2) the employer reasonably believes that satisfying those job functions using an “alternative form of transportation” would not be comparable in travel time or cost to the employer.

Under the new law, an “alternative form of transportation” includes, but is not limited to:

  • Using ride-hailing services;
  • Using a taxi;
  • Carpooling;
  • Bicycling; and
  • Walking

(SB 1100 amends section 12940 of the Government Code.)
