What it's about
Yum’s petition asked how California’s SB 1 works alongside federal rules on consumer reports and whether state privacy protections could support a federal claim about required legal procedures.
Question presented
1. Whether “consumer credit reports” as defined by the FCRA, holds deference to apply to § 4053(b)(4) of California’s SB 1, when a creditor has failed to comply with the notice requirements relating to § 1691(d)(1)-(3) of the federal ECOA. 2. Whether a state “right to privacy” under Cal. Const. Art. 1 § 1 and California SB 1, is an adequate post-deprivation due process claim per 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
