Specifically, the law would prohibit employers from asking about applicants’ criminal histories or performing background checks until after the applicant has been selected for an interview or offered a job. The law does, however, exempt certain categories of employers — including banks, nursing homes and others that provide services to vulnerable people — from its prohibitions if they are otherwise required by law to perform background checks.
