California: Meal-Break and Rest-Break Laws / Federal PreemptionSUMMARY OF AMICUS BRIEF FILED 3/8/2018 In March 2018, TIDA filed an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court in support of the Petition for Writ of Certiorari of J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. The brief focused on the issue of preemption under the Federal Aviation and Administration Authorization Act of 1994, 49 U.S.C. § 14501 (“FAAAA”), where motor carrier JB Hunt challenged a Ninth Circuit ruling allowing the state of California to impose on the motor carrier various meal-break and rest-break laws which would alter the motor carrier’s performance-based pay program for its drivers. The TIDA member firm filing the brief was John Haluck, David Kash, Zachary Schwartz, LaKeysia Beene, and Eric Brumfield in the California and Arizona offices of Koeller Nebeker Carlson Haluck.
