Summary

The bill stops private and public employers in Oklahoma from asking about or obtaining an applicant’s criminal record before they make a conditional offer of employment. It allows employers to notify applicants of disqualifying convictions and to ask a limited pre‑offer question about convictions that are legally disqualifying. Sensitive positions and jobs already required to consider criminal records are exempt.
