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.
The official GovInfo compilation shows chapter 92 of title 5 barring pre-offer criminal-history inquiries for civil-service applicants, extends matching protections to congressional employing offices in 2 U.S.C. 1316b, and adds contractor prohibitions in section 1123. It is federal fair-chance hiring law, but only in federal and congressional/contractor contexts rather than across all employers nationwide.
Assessments
Fair-chance hiring has become law only in limited federal contexts, including federal civil-service hiring, congressional employing offices, and some federal contractors. That falls short of the promise to make fair-chance hiring the law 'across America,' which implies a broader nationwide rule across employers. Because the existing outcome is partial and the evidence does not show Casar personally delivered or materially advanced a nationwide law, this merits partial rather than full credit.
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.
