State and city guides

Fair-chance rules and reporting limits for the places you hire.

6 articles

  • Fair chance: New York State

    What the product asks for a New York job: Article 23-A, the 380-b notice, and Executive Law 845-d when a conviction is released.

  • Fair chance: New York City

    New York City orders wait for a conditional offer. The product cannot treat a 1-4 employee band as exempt from that rule.

  • Fair chance: California

    California orders wait for a conditional offer. A 1-4 employee band still follows that rule because the band is not proof of size.

  • Fair chance: Washington

    Washington orders ask for a conditional offer now. The hold-open rule changes on July 1, 2026, and again on January 1, 2027.

  • Other fair-chance states

    Several states and cities block an order until you confirm a conditional offer. Counsel reviewed those rows.

  • Reporting limits by state

    Pay and time limits decide which records can be reported. ScreenForge Labs applies them before an employer can see a record.
