Summary

The proposal permits the Office of the Legislative Auditor and the State Auditor to access and consider convictions that have been expunged while evaluating final job candidates. It would allow them to disqualify an applicant if a prior conviction is directly related to the position, even though the record is sealed. The change adds this authority to existing statutes that govern criminal‑history exceptions.
