About this file
This file is a Policy Certification document from the Louisville Metro Government addressing compliance with Louisville Metro Codified Ordinance (LMCO) Section 112.30, which prohibits vendors from engaging in discriminatory hiring practices against persons with prior criminal convictions. The certification applies to all vendors conducting business with Louisville Metro Government and requires that initial employment applications not include questions or checkboxes regarding applicants' criminal histories, unless otherwise mandated by state or federal law. Vendors must affirm their compliance with this practice, and adherence to these standards is incorporated as an evaluation criterion in the contract award process. The City retains the authority to deny, rescind, revoke, terminate, or refuse to renew contracts with vendors failing to comply with these requirements.
The document provides seven enumerated exceptions to the "ban the box" requirement for positions involving cash handling exceeding $500, fiduciary responsibilities, access to confidential information, unsupervised contact with minors or vulnerable populations, unsupervised home access, positions required by law to conduct background checks, or sole source contracts with Louisville Metro Government. Vendors must indicate which exceptions, if any, apply to their business by checking the corresponding boxes and provide the signature, printed name, title, and date of an authorized company official. This certification requirement applies to the Phase 1 Rehabilitation project at 1150 S 28th Street (The Ashanti House) in Louisville's Parkland neighborhood, managed by the Office of Housing and Community Development.
