Could There be a Federal Ban the Box in the Future?

On September 10, 2015, the Senate and House of Representatives introduced bills that would make it unlawful for federal contractors to request a job applicant, whether orally or in writing, to disclose criminal history record information before being offered employment.   The bills, S. 2021 and H.R. 3470 are pending and a first step towards the movement to ban the box on the federal level.  If these bills pass the impact in their current form will be for federal employers and NOT private employers.  Aurico will continue to monitor this movement and report any impactful updates.
