The \u201cBan the Box\u201d law was originally enacted in 2010, and prohibited employers from:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Asking about an applicant\u2019s criminal history in the initial written application, and<\/li>\n<li>Asking an applicant about (a) &#8220;an arrest, detention, or disposition regarding any violation of law in which no conviction resulted,\u201d (b) a first conviction of a misdemeanor for \u201cdrunkenness, simple assault, speeding, minor traffic violations, affray or disturbance of the peace,\u201d or (c) any misdemeanor where the date of conviction or completion of incarceration occurred five years or more prior to the date of the application, unless the applicant had been convicted of any offense within the prior five year period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Misdemeanor Convictions Less Available to Employers<\/h2>\n<p>This new amendment, which goes into effect on October 13, 2018, further limits an employer\u2019s ability to obtain arrest and conviction information on a prospective employee. Specifically, the prohibition on asking for information about misdemeanor convictions was further strengthened, and employers may only ask for misdemeanor conviction information that occurred three years, as opposed to five years, prior to the date of application, unless the applicant was convicted of any crime within the prior three years.<\/p>\n<h2>Sealed or Expunged Records Unavailable<\/h2>\n<p>The new amendment also added a new restriction, namely, employers are prohibited from asking applicants about any criminal records that were sealed or expunged.<\/p>\n<h2>Mandatory Notice Language Added<\/h2>\n<p>Lastly, if an employer is asking for criminal history information during the application process, the application must include the following language \u201can applicant for employment with a record expunged pursuant to section 100F, section 100G, section 100H or section 100K of chapter 276 of the General Laws may answer \u2018no record\u2019 with respect to an inquiry herein relative to prior arrests, criminal court appearances or convictions. An applicant for employment with a record expunged pursuant to section 100F, section 100G, section 100H or section 100K of chapter 276 of the General Laws may answer \u2018no record\u2019 to an inquiry herein relative to prior arrests, criminal court appearances, juvenile court appearances, adjudications or convictions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Client Tip: Employers should consult with counsel on the implications of these new provisions on their respective hiring processes.
