Bill Summary
LABOR -- Adds to existing law to provide certain protections for employment applicants with a criminal record.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new chapter to Idaho's laws to provide certain protections for employment applicants with a criminal record. Specifically, it prohibits employers and employment agencies from posting job ads that exclude applicants with criminal convictions, asking about criminal convictions on initial job applications, or considering an applicant's criminal history until after they have been determined qualified for the position and selected for an interview or offered conditional employment. However, these requirements do not apply in certain situations, such as when federal or state law requires consideration of criminal history, or for law enforcement agencies, the criminal justice system, or certain non-profit organizations.
