Define which city jobs can ask about criminal history on applications
Resolution Resolution No. 119-13
In Plain English
Richmond's 'ban the box' law prevents the city from asking about criminal convictions on job applications. However, the law allows exceptions for 'sensitive positions' but never defined what those are. This resolution creates that definition so the city knows which jobs can still ask about criminal history upfront.
