WHEREAS, Vermonters with criminal records suffer from discrimination in many areas of life, including employment opportunities;

WHEREAS, such a policy removes questions related to a job applicant’s criminal record in the initial stage of many employment applications, thereby preventing the conviction from serving as an immediate reason for screening out an applicant when the conviction may have little or no bearing on the work to be performed;
WHEREAS, states across the country have adopted hiring practices to remove unfair barriers to employment of people with criminal records; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, to maximize compliance with federal anti-discrimination law, recommends delaying inquiry of a job applicant’s conviction history and considering the job-relatedness of the conviction.

Such a policy shall provide qualified applicants the opportunity to explain a criminal record when applying for state positions, but shall not affect positions for which a criminal conviction makes a candidate ineligible regardless of the circumstances.
This Executive Order shall take effect upon signing.
