- Federal: The Supreme Court holds that the six-year statute of limitations to challenge agency rules under the Administrative Procedure Act does not begin until the plaintiff is injured by final agency action. This decision will affect challenges to many employment regulations. See Corner Post, Inc. v. Bd. of Governors of the Fed. Rsrv. Sys., 2024 U.S. LEXIS 2885 (July 1, 2024).
- Federal: A federal court in the Northern District of Texas grants a preliminary injunction preventing the FTC from enforcing its rule banning noncompete agreements against the plaintiff tax preparation company and plaintiff-intervenors while the court considers whether the FTC has the authority to issue the ban finding that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits. See Ryan LLC v. FTC, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117418 (N.D. Tex. July 3, 2024).
- California: California reforms the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) by streamlining compliance and changing the penalty structure. The new legislation introduces a new standing requirement, sets specific penalty amounts for violations and caps on penalties for employers that take reasonable steps to comply with the Labor Code, provides options to resolve claims early, and provides for trial management by the court. See 2023 CA A.B. 2288 and 2023 CA S.B. 92.
