Some U.S. state and county courts have made a decision over recent years to remove access to date of birth and other personally identifiable information (PII) from public court records over growing concerns for protection of consumer data. This has taken effect in counties of California, as well as in counties of Michigan, creating significant obstacles to completing timely and reliable background checks. Negative impacts of this decision on court research providers, background screeners and employers include longer turnaround times, less reliable background checks and delays in hiring decisions.
