re: Democrats Intro Bill To Strip Federal Grants From Employers Conducting Criminal Background

‘ELIGIBILITY.—Beginning with the third fiscal year that begins after the date of the enactment of the Workforce Justice Act of 2021, to be eligible for an allocation under this section, a State shall have enacted and be implementing legislation that prohibits private employers from—
‘‘(A) requiring an applicant to disclose whether the applicant has a criminal record;
‘‘(B) inquiring about the criminal record of an applicant prior to a conditional offer of employment; and
‘‘(C) conducting a criminal background check on an applicant prior to a conditional offer of employment.’’
So this doesn't change what most employers that I'm aware of do in today's day and age....most have already stopped asking about criminal record on the application.
This still allows you to conduct a background check after the offer with a clean background check condition is issued.

Exactly.

My employees work in schools, schools that require background checks on all of my employees.
Let's say this passes. I now would have to get approval from the government (the school board) to bypass their law for another law OR we just have to take applicants words that they aren't child molesters or traffickers and send them on into a school.
Your government, folks!

No. It’s not. Companies are not running background checks on all applicants. They’re running background checks on people to whom they’ve extended offers.

I think science experiments should be conducted on Democrats brains. I'm truly amazed at how they can waffle so frequently!

No, but some of them ask the question early on the application process.
Could be a weed out point by default, as an easy point to disqualify the resume in a pile even if it isn’t an integrity crime like theft or even something relevant to the role.
And if you lie on it, as revealed in the potential background check later, the company (rightly so) will likely withdraw their offer.

So what's the point of the bill if no one is doing it?

This cant be true, the fedgov is one of the biggest background checkers around

And its just the fricking height of stupidity to keep interviewing a person who at the end will not get the job anyways because he has a felony.

Typical leftist bullshite semantics feel good legislation. It doesn't do anything other than let them beat the drums that anyone who opposes it is a racist or part of the patriarchy or whatever other bullshite they come up with.

Even if the felony is something like forgetting to return a video tape?
And have you never dealt with HR recruiters as a hiring manager? We aren’t just talking about felons here.
They look for ANY REASON to put resumes into the pass pile, and sometimes the reason can be super arbitrary. You get a Puritan one, and the hiring manager never hears about the candidate because of a misdemeanor back in college.

This would expose employers to claims of negligent hiring in cases where someone with a criminal record causes an injury to a customer/random third party.

Maybe some employers don’t want criminals working for them?

Sounds like everify but for convicted felons great.... what a bunch of morons. Immigration status and criminal records should be a grounds for denying employment on the spot. Why does this country hate law abiding citizens?

Nothing like being "invested" in a candidate, only to find out he did time for raping a co-worker a decade ago. Right?
Obscuring important facts sounds like lying, to me.
Tell me about yourself, Mr. TheRipper. Well, I have many advanced degrees in science and mathmetics. I guess you'd say I am a people person. I really. Really. Like people.
Says here you slaughtered many women. Oh yeah, well about that...

So drivers shouldn't be asked if they have DUIs, for instance? It's just dumb, if people aren't getting called back, there's a damn reason for it, and they would have been filtered out after paying for a background check. Why force companies to waste money and time?
