Ban-the-box is on the rise. Again. In May, the Massachusetts Attorney General publicly announced citations against 19 businesses for ban-the-box violations. While some of these businesses are nationwide organizations, others are smaller or local to the state. This tells us that all organizations, regardless of size or reach, should be mindful of ban-the-box compliance. $5,000 fines were issued against two of the larger businesses cited.

\n\n\n\n

Since 2014, DC has received over 1,800 complaints alleging ban-the-box violations by employers. More than 1,100 of those complaints have led to administrative charges against employers, leading to more than $500,000 in fines.

\n\n\n\n

And starting September 2019, ban-the-box legislation goes into effect in Colorado. Any employer with 11 or more employees will have to comply with this law. Then, in September 2021, the law will go into effect for all employers, regardless of size. This law applies to both public and private sector employment.

\n\n\n\n

New Mexico also expanded its ban-the-box law. As of June 14, 2019, private employers with four or more employees are prohibited from asking about criminal history in an application. They may only consider conviction information upon discussion with the applicant.

\n\n\n\n

Ban-the-box isn’t going anywhere. Make sure you’re staying up to date on new laws in the jurisdictions where you hire and where you’re located.
