Applies to the following employers:\ni. Employers with five or more employees operating in\nunincorporated areas of the County;\nii. Employers with five or more employees that receive County\ncontracts and leases, including, but not limited to, County\ncontractors and subcontractors;\n1. For contractors and subcontractors, this ordinance\nshould apply to the portion of operations that would\nbe or are performing work in furtherance of a\ncontract with the County. This sub-directive should\nnot be interpreted to exclude any employees\nperforming work in the unincorporated areas of the\nCounty that is not related to a contract with the\nCounty; and\n2. In accordance with State law, the ordinance should\nnot apply to any position where an employer is\nrequired by another law or a licensing requirement to\nconduct background checks or restrict employment\nbased on criminal history;\nb. Does not apply to non-County public agency employers;\nc. Applies to employees whose positions involve or will involve\nworking at least eight hours per week, including temporary,\nseasonal, part-time, contract, contingent, and commission-based\nwork. It should also cover work performed through the services of\na temporary or other employment agency, including non-profit\norganizations, and any form of vocational or educational training,\nwith or without pay;\nd. Requires employers to:\ni. Specify in all job solicitations and advertisements that\nqualified applicants with arrest and conviction records will\nbe considered for the position in accordance with the\nOrdinance and the Fair Chance Act (FCA); and\nii. Conspicuously post the official Ordinance notice in every\nworkplace, job site, and on the employer’s website, with the\nnotice to be provided in multiple languages to ensure\naccessibility;\ne. Prohibits employers from asking, encouraging, or otherwise\nproviding opportunities for applicants to voluntarily disclose\ninformation about their criminal history;\nf. Prohibits employers from ever considering the following:\ni. An arrest not leading to a conviction, except for unresolved\narrests;\nii. Participation in a diversion or deferral of judgment program;\niii. A conviction that has been dismissed, expunged, otherwise\ninvalidated, or inoperative;\niv. An adjudication in the juvenile justice system;\nv. An offense other than a felony and certain misdemeanors,\nexcept for infractions related to the driving of a vehicle;\nvi. A conviction that is more than seven years old (unless the\nposition being considered primarily provides services to or\nsupervises minors, dependent adults, or persons 65 years\nof age or older); and\nvii. A conviction for decriminalized conduct, including the\nnon-commercial use and cultivation of cannabis;\ng. Requires employers, before taking adverse action such as,\nrefusing to hire, discharging, or not promoting an individual based\non a conviction history or unresolved arrest, to perform a written\nassessment that effectively establishes a direct adverse\nrelationship between the specific aspects of the applicant’s\ncriminal history with the inherent risks associated with the\nperformance of one’s duties in the employment position sought,\nand provide this written assessment to the applicant, along with a\ncopy of the full background check results, with the notification of\nthe preliminary decision to rescind a conditional job offer, to\ndischarge, or to not promote, both in electronic and physical form;\ni. Further require employers to keep a record of the\nassessment for a proscribed period that accounts for,\namong other things, a potential need for job applicants to\npursue, and an employer’s need to defend themselves from,\nlitigation;\nh. Requires employers, before taking adverse action such as\nrefusing to hire, discharging, or not promoting an individual based\non a conviction history or unresolved arrest, to give the individual\nan opportunity to present evidence that the information is\ninaccurate, the individual has been rehabilitated, or other\nmitigating factors within specified timelines aligned with the FCA;\nand to account for any information submitted and re-evaluate\nwhether a direct and adverse nexus between a conviction(s) and\njob duties continues to exist;\ni. Establishes reasonable and specified timelines within which\nemployers must respond to a job applicant’s appeal, in both\nelectronic and physical form, of a decision to rescind a conditional\njob offer, and within which employers must make final hiring\ndeterminations. This timeline should account for the need to\nrespond to applicant(s) in a timely manner given their potential\ninability to wait for an unreasonably delayed notification;\nj. Prohibits the employer from filling the employment position sought\nby the applicant until after the minimum time period for the\napplicant to submit an appeal has elapsed or, if the applicant has\nsubmitted an appeal within that time, after the employer has\nresponded to the appeal with a final decision;\ni. Further, employers should be prohibited from rescinding a\nconditional job offer for any reason other than finding a\ndirect and adverse nexus between one or more convictions\nand job duties;\nk. Establishes penalties and administrative fines for an employer\nviolation of any provision of this ordinance, which shall:\ni. Be up to $500 for the first violation, up to $1,000 for the\nsecond violation, and up to $2,000 for the third and\nsubsequent violations; and\nii. Require that no less than half of the fine be awarded to the\ncomplainant;\nl. Further, the Interim County Counsel should work with relevant\nDepartments, reentry partners, and community stakeholders to\nmake recommendations, and report back to the Board in writing in\n90 days with language for this draft Ordinance, for the following\nproposed provisions:\ni. Prohibit employers from posting advertisements and job\napplications that contain phrases that inappropriately or\nunnecessarily deter job seekers from applying, such as\n“background check required” or “must have clean record”;\nii. Stricter limits on employers’ consideration of unresolved\narrests, with consideration for the presumption of\ninnocence;\niii. Identified misdemeanors and “wobblers” (offenses that can\nbe charged as either a misdemeanor or felony) that\nemployers should not be allowed to consider;\niv. “Look back” periods for any specific offenses shorter than\nthe “ceiling” of seven years, as informed by\nevidence-based findings and any relevant requirements\nunder State or Federal law to ensure that system-impacted\nindividuals are not unnecessarily harmed by overly long\nlook back periods;\nv. Prohibit employers from requesting additional documents,\nevidence, and other information from the applicant which\nmay contain information that is prohibited (including\ncharges that never became convictions); incorrect or\nunnecessarily inflammatory; and can be difficult to obtain;\nvi. A specific timeline within which employers would be\nrequired to complete and send the results of the\nindividualized nexus assessment to a job applicant following\nthe employer’s receipt of background check results;\nvii. Clarification of instances in which employers should be\nrequired to follow a rebuttable presumption that there is no\nlink between the conviction history and risks associated with\nthe performance of job duties, including whether this should\ngenerally apply to applicants not incarcerated or have\ncompleted a sentence;\nviii. The criteria used by employers to evaluate a candidate’s\nappeal, for the purpose of ensuring that such evaluations\ndetermine, upon consideration of the appeal, whether there\nis still a reasonable nexus between a candidate’s criminal\nhistory and job duties, with consideration for how to make\nsuch criteria public information to enhance transparency of\nthe process;\nix. A minimum amount of time, greater than five business days,\nfor the candidate to appeal an employer’s preliminary\ndecision to take an adverse action, with consideration for\nthe amount of time it can take to prove that a background\ncheck is inaccurate;\nx.

Penalties and fines for any entities that conduct background\nchecks or evaluate a conviction history on behalf of an\nemployer for violations of this ordinance;\nxiii.
