Updates on the Washington State Fair Chance Act

For those who conduct employment screening in Washington State, here is an update by Montserat C. Miller, Partner at Arnall Golden Gregory LLP in Washington, D.C.

Please see below–

“Washington State is the latest state to enact a Fair Chance Hiring law with a ban the box provision (meaning employers cannot ask about criminal history on the job application). The Fair Chance Act prohibits employers in Washington State from asking about criminal history on any application for employment until after the employer initially determines that the applicant is “otherwise qualified for the position.” The Governor signed HB 1298 into law, effective June 7, 2018. The law also addresses job advertisements and company policies and procedures.”
