About this file
This document is a Louisville Metro Government Codified Ordinance Policy Certification form addressing hiring practices related to individuals with prior criminal convictions. The ordinance (LMCO Section 112.30) prohibits vendors applying for business with the city from including criminal history inquiries on initial employment applications, with specific exceptions. The policy requires that vendors' criminal history practices be part of contract evaluation criteria, and the city retains the authority to deny, rescind, or terminate contracts for non-compliance.
The document outlines seven specific exceptions to the ordinance, which include scenarios involving employees handling significant cash amounts, accessing confidential information, working with vulnerable populations (children, minors, developmentally disabled persons), having unsupervised home access, positions required by law to conduct background checks, or situations where federal/state laws prohibit hiring individuals with felony convictions. Vendors must complete the form by either affirming compliance with the ordinance or indicating which exception(s) apply to their employment practices. The form requires a signature from the contractor's authorized official, certifying their understanding and agreement with the ordinance's provisions.
