Assembly Bill 1650 requires contractors that bid on state
contracts involving on-site construction-related services to
certify that they will not ask applicants for on-site
construction-related jobs to disclose information concerning
criminal history at the time of an initial employment application.
The law does not apply if the position requires a criminal
background check under state or federal law, nor does it apply to
workers obtained through a union hiring hall pursuant to a
collective bargaining agreement.
