Bill > AB1008

This bill prohibits employers with 5 or more employees from including any questions about an applicant's conviction history on job applications or considering that information until after a conditional job offer has been made. It requires employers to conduct an individualized assessment of whether an applicant's conviction history is directly related to the job duties before denying employment, and provides a process for the applicant to respond to any preliminary decision to deny employment based on their conviction history. The bill also repeals an existing law that prohibited state and local agencies from asking about conviction history until minimum qualifications are determined.
