Catterlin Pushes Board to Back AB 1053 on Arrest Inquiries
Second District Supervisor Charles F. Catterlin urged the Board of Supervisors to endorse Assembly Bill 1053 which would ban employers from asking about prior arrests that did not lead to convictions. The measure, introduced March 18 by Assemblyman Karabian, affects private employers and government agencies and allows inquiry only for arrests during ongoing employment. The board postponed debate to the Aug. 2 meeting and the personnel department will review the bill first.
