Would you want to know if someone applying for a job at your company was arrested for a felony or is a convicted felon? How about if they’re applying for a state or local government job? A bill by Assemblyman Tyrone Thompson of Las Vegas would “Ban the box,” that requests that information. Backers of AB 384 say this would give people a chance to get past the application stage, and be able to explain their circumstances to an employer. Applications for police officers, school district personnel and firefighters would be exempt.
