Adam Almeida, President and CEO of CriminalBackgroundRecords.com states: “The scope and immediacy of SB 1480 suggests that hiring managers and HR departments should immediately review all pre-employment background screening policies; subsequent best practice remains to work with a well-qualified third-part screening agency, such as CriminalBackgroundRecords.com to remain complaint with law.”
