New Criminal Background
Regulations Coming July 1
|
On March 27th, the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved
new regulations relating to the use of criminal background information in employment decisions. These regulations will be filed with the Secretary of State's office and are effective on July 1, 2017.
Employers will have additional burdens under the new regulations.
As
previously reported, the California Fair Employment and Housing Council (FEHC) proposed these criminal history regulations last year.
In addition to reiterating existing prohibitions on the use of criminal history information in California, the regulations require employers to demonstrate that any criminal history information sought is job-related and consistent with a business necessity.

Frida Kahlo - Her Photos offers an intimate glance into the life of one of the world's most beloved artists. Throughout her life, Kahlo meticulously collected over 6,000 photographs of loved ones as well as scenes of Mexican culture, politics, art, history and nature.
These photographs were taken by many renowned creatives of the time. After her death, the collection was locked away by a grieving Diego Rivera in Kahlo's Mexico City family home, Casa Azul or the Blue House. More than fifty years later, this treasured collection was revealed to the public. Visitors to the exhibition will discover some of the brightest and darkest times in the artist's life while also experiencing a unique view of the tumultuous political and technological climate of the early to mid 20th Century.
