Many employers require criminal history background checks as a condition of employment. This bill would limit conviction data provided to prospective employers to Class B misdemeanor convictions or greater, meaning criminal acts classified as unclassified misdemeanors or violations shall not be disclosed for employment purposes. Law enforcement agencies, courts and individuals and entities in the criminal justice system would still have access to an individual’s entire criminal history.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Criminal History Reporting.
