Ban-the-Box & Fair Chance Laws and Policies by State

Employers must stay up-to-date on local laws, including “Ban-the-Box” and “Fair Chance” laws.

These laws not only restrict the use of criminal history inquiry on the application, but potentially restrict the timing a background check may be run during the hiring process.

A great resource to keep up with your particular city/state and any laws that may apply to your business is NELP.org. As of July 2019, the following link provides a comprehensive guide and we recommend reviewing the document here.
