Summary

Existing law regulates the terms and conditions of employment and, in particular, contracts and applications for employment. Existing law prohibits private employers from requiring an applicant for employment to take a polygraph test as a condition of employment or continued employment. Existing law generally prohibits public and private employers from requiring an applicant to disclose an arrest or detention that did not result in a conviction, subject to various exceptions.

This bill would, on and after July 1, 2016, prohibit a state or local agency, as defined, from publishing or posting a job advertisement or announcement that states or indicates that an individual's status as a current or former public employee disqualifies an individual from eligibility for employment. The bill would, on and after July 1, 2016, also prohibit a state or local agency from asking an applicant to specifically disclose, orally or in writing, the applicant's status as a current or former public employee until the employer has determined that the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications for the position.
