Removal of Pre Employment Background Checks

They're gonna' get defunded anyway.
But that is certainly the way it reads. (In before, "They're all crooks already anyway!)

Well....if the shoe fits.....

I think they are saying a criminal background check can’t be completed before a conditional offer of employment.

Isn’t having a criminal record public information?

Dems will wipe out all those public info... Their base are crying out!!!

The law-abiding applicants are the ones who will be penalized.

Expect the "Russians" or "Chinese" to have a ransom ware attack on the servers that contain that info. Get used to Sorry, we don't have access to that information anymore.

18 comments and ONE person (#12) seems to have read this correctly.

All this does (similar to laws in several states) is require that a conditional offer of employment be made prior to conducting a background check on applicants. This is the same as drug screening - the offer of a job is required.

This is what most employers already do - no one wants to waste funds on background checks or drug tests on people they don't plan to hire. This is straight-up feel good legislation and nothing more.

BS. Not true. Do not have any hiring experience?
It will hurt people just starting in the work force.
Some companies check before doing interviews. Why interview a sex offender for a job in daycare? A thief for job in a bank?
So now people whose applications and resumes are "stronger" will be interviewed, even though they do not qualify for a job due to their criminal record.
Less qualified applicants, with weaker resumes, but no criminal records, will not get interviews and a shot at a job, because a criminal took that spot. There are only so many interviews you can do.

The same logic should be applied to gun purchases should it not? If a person has done their time so to speak, why should they continue to face restrictions to their fundamental rights? Touchy subject, but should committing a crime prohibit a ex-con from being able to defend themselves against an attack after they have been charged and been released from jail/prison and are no longer on parole? I believe this question will become of utmost importance as many of us who use this site may find ourselves in that category if many of the gun regs being pushed are voted into law. Pretty simple approach actually. Ban previously legal guns and the owners who refuse to comply become criminals and lose their second amendment rights...
