Casar supports federal bills to make Fair Chance Hiring the law across America
Make Fair Chance Hiring the law across America.
Occurrences
Evidence
Section 9202 bars federal agencies from requesting criminal history record information before a conditional offer of employment, implementing the Fair Chance to Compete for Jobs Act of 2019.
Section 1316b extends Fair Chance Act-style criminal-history inquiry limits to applicants for employment as covered employees in congressional employing offices.
Assessments
Fair Chance Hiring has not been made the law across America in the broad nationwide sense promised. The cited federal provisions implement fair-chance limits for federal civil-service hiring and congressional employing offices, which is meaningful but limited to federal employment contexts rather than all employers or jurisdictions nationwide. Because the outcome is only partially achieved and the evidence does not show Casar personally enacted an America-wide law, this merits partial credit with same-term timing for existing federal implementation during his federal office context.
