Ohio SB143 prohibits employers from asking about criminal background on job applications.
Ohio SB143 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit employers from asking about an applicant's criminal background on initial job applications. Employers are also barred from inquiring into or considering an applicant's criminal background during the hiring process. However, the bill allows employers to conduct criminal background checks if required by law. Employers must notify applicants in writing if their criminal background disqualifies them from a position, providing details and the right to challenge the decision.
