Take A Stand
There currently exists a confluence of events that do not bode well and pose serious threats to our industry. We want to make sure that NAPBS members are aware of these challenges posed by policymakers at the state and federal levels and why we must remain vigilant and, where appropriate, take adequate measures in response.
Because the issues are too vast for any single entity to tackle, NAPBS has joined with other affected parties - law firms, lobbyists, individuals, companies and associations - in an informal ad hoc "Public Policy Group" to respond to these governmental initiatives. Action plans primarily concentrate around information gathering, outreach to other affected entities, EEOC activity and response to studies on recidivism and its impact in the hiring process. Examples of recent activity include:
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") is becoming more aggressive in finding that employer use of criminal background checks has a disparate impact on minorities.
