About this file
This is a policy certification document issued by Louisville Metro Government establishing hiring practice requirements for vendors contracting with the City of Louisville, Kentucky. The certification pertains to the City's "Ban the Box" ordinance, codified in LMCO Section 112.30, which prohibits vendors from inquiring about applicants' prior criminal history on initial employment applications. Vendors applying for business with Louisville Metro Government must certify compliance with this practice, which serves as an evaluation criterion in contract awards. The City retains authority to deny, rescind, revoke, terminate, or not renew contracts with vendors failing to meet these standards. The ordinance applies broadly to all vendor employment applications unless otherwise required by state or federal law.
The certification document provides seven enumerated exceptions to the "Ban the Box" requirements, applicable when vendor employees handle cash exceeding $500, access confidential information such as social security numbers or financial data, have unsupervised access to minors under age 16 or vulnerable populations, work unsupervised in residents' homes, occupy positions required by law to conduct background checks, are prohibited by federal, state, or local law from hiring individuals with felony convictions, or are engaged through sole source contracts. Vendors must indicate which exceptions, if any, apply to their business operations by checking corresponding boxes on the certification form. Contractors must sign the certification confirming either compliance with LMCO 112.30 practices or applicability of one or more exceptions, acknowledging that criminal history policies will be evaluated as part of contract award criteria.
