Texas HB2466 regulates employer inquiries into an applicant's criminal history record information during the hiring process.

Texas HB2466 amends Chapter 52 of the Labor Code by adding Subchapter H, which governs how employers can inquire about and consider an applicant's criminal history record information. The bill prohibits employers from asking about criminal history on initial employment applications. Employers may only inquire into or consider this information after determining the applicant is qualified and after conditionally offering employment or inviting the applicant to an interview.
