Across the country, a growing number of states, cities and counties are enacting laws designed to remove barriers faced by individuals with criminal records in finding employment. These measures include "ban-the-box" legislation, which forbids employers from asking about criminal history on an employment application; laws directing when and how criminal background information can be used in hiring decisions; and financial incentives for employers who hire individuals with qualifying criminal records.

Laws restricting what private employers may ask about criminal history during the application process are in place in 11 states, the District of Columbia and more than a dozen cities and counties. Several more states have legislation applying ban-the-box provisions to private employers under consideration at this time.
