A. Except as provided in subsection B, a covered employer shall not ask an applicant for employment to disclose, orally or in writing, information concerning the criminal conviction history of the applicant, including any inquiry about criminal conviction history on any employment application, until the employer has determined the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications stated in any notice issued for the position.
B. This section does not apply to: (1) a position for which a covered employer is otherwise required by law to conduct a criminal conviction history background check; or (2) a position that will not involve work pursuant to a city contract.
C. This section does not prevent a covered employer from conducting a criminal conviction history background check in subsequent stages of the application process after initially determining whether the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications. (Ord. 2016-0036 § 2)
