Connecticut Passes the Amended Ban the Box Bill
July 11th, 2016
The modified “Ban the Box” bill states, “No employer shall inquire about a prospective employee’s prior arrests, criminal charges, or convictions on an initial employment application, unless (1) the employer is required to do so by an applicable state or federal law, or (2) a security or fidelity bond or an equivalent bond is required for the position for which the prospective employee is seeking employment.” The new law allows an employee or prospective employee to file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner alleging an employer’s violation.
