Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation would make it illegal to include questions on a job application about whether the applicant was arrested for, charged with or convicted of a crime except for those applying for law enforcement jobs. If there is a law prohibiting those who have been arrested, charged or convicted of a particular crime from holding a particular job, then questions about that crime may be asked. Additionally, if a standard fidelity bond or equivalent bond is required for the job and conviction of particular crimes would prevent them from obtaining such a bond, then the employer may ask whether the applicant has ever been convicted of those crimes.
