Following closely on the heels of a citywide bill restricting employer’s use of credit information for employment decisions,1 on June 10, 2015, the New York City Council passed a new bill restricting an employer’s ability to inquire into or obtain information about a job applicant’s criminal history before extending a conditional offer of employment. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to sign the bill, which will go into effect 120 days after it is signed into law. This legislation comes shortly after enactment of similar laws in other jurisdictions, such as the District of Columbia and the City of Columbia in Missouri.2
