AccuSource has received news from our industry group, the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA), that on June 30, 2021 the Michigan Supreme Court issued an order that delays the implementation of the date of birth redaction rule that would make dates of birth unavailable. The implementation date has been changed from July 1, 2021 until January 1, 2022.
While this is not a complete victory, it allows time for the PBSA and our industry to work with Michigan to ensure our industry retains access to important identifiers used in the background screening process.
The following is a link to the order extending the implementation date: https://courts.michigan.gov/Courts/MichiganSupremeCourt/rules/court-rules-admin-matters/Adopted/2020-26_2021-06-30_FormattedOrder_ExtOfMCR1.109-8.119.pdf
AccuSource and the PBSA thank you for the efforts made to address this important issue.
