Ban contractors from asking job applicants about criminal history
In Plain English
City contractors currently can ask about criminal convictions during hiring. The new law requires contractors, renters of city property, and aid recipients to wait until later in the hiring process. This gives people with criminal records a better chance at jobs with companies that work for the city.
