About this file

This document is a Louisville Metro Codified Ordinance (LMCO) Policy Certification form related to hiring practices for vendors doing business with the Louisville Metro Government. The ordinance, specifically Section 112.30, prohibits vendors from using employment application practices that inquire about an applicant's prior criminal history on initial applications, with several specific exceptions. The policy aims to provide fair employment opportunities for individuals with previous criminal convictions.

The document outlines seven potential exceptions to this policy, which include situations involving handling large cash amounts, access to confidential information, unsupervised contact with vulnerable populations, working alone in residential settings, positions required by law to conduct background checks, legal prohibitions on hiring individuals with felonies, and sole source contracts. Vendors must affirm compliance with the ordinance or indicate which exception applies to their specific employment circumstances. The City retains the authority to deny, rescind, or terminate contracts with vendors who fail to comply with these standards.

(2) The standards established in this chapter and the criminal history policies shall be a part of the evaluation criteria when awarding City contracts.
