HMM never heard of that regarding criminals  https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/20...Using CA as an example:- not allowed to place a blanket ban based on criminal record- are not allowed to access certain forms of criminal records (arrests, post-trial diversions, sealed expunged records)- you are technically allowed to access conviction data and use it, but your interpretation of that data must comport perfectly with how CA wants you to interpret it (must have direct bearing, must have been recent enough etc)- even if you follow all of this perfectly, accessing the criminal records must not "have a discriminatory effect" so if certain special people are impacted you are still looking at liability.As a result of this legal minefield many just decide to forget looking at criminal or to find some other criteria.
