AB 2727 Applicant Information – Criminal History

Fresno Chamber Position: OPPOSE

AB 2727 imposes a number of confusing and subjective new standards and criteria that employers must meet and consider when making employment decisions on the basis of an applicant’s prior criminal convictions. This bill also unreasonably expands employer liability by creating a new private right of action and criminal penalties for violating these new requirements. Current law already provides significant protections to applicants with criminal conviction records.
