About this file
This is a policy certification form from Louisville Metro Government requiring vendors to comply with Louisville Metro Codified Ordinance Section 112.30, which prohibits certain hiring practices against persons previously convicted of crimes. The certification requires vendors applying for business with the city to follow "ban the box" practices, meaning initial employment applications cannot contain questions about an applicant's prior criminal history unless otherwise required by state or federal law. The ordinance establishes that compliance with these criminal history policies will be part of the evaluation criteria when awarding city contracts, and the city retains authority to deny, rescind, revoke, terminate, or not renew contracts with vendors who fail to comply with these standards.
The certification includes seven specific exceptions where the "ban the box" requirements do not apply, including positions involving cash handling over $500 or major fiduciary responsibilities, access to confidential information that could enable identity theft, unsupervised access to children under 16 or vulnerable adults, unsupervised access to residents' homes, positions required by law to conduct background checks, vendors prohibited by law from hiring individuals with felonies, and sole source contracts with Louisville Metro Government. Vendors must sign and date the certification affirming they follow the required practices or that an applicable exception applies, with the understanding that non-compliance provisions apply to their certification.
