[THENATIONALPULSE] House Democrats introduced a bill to block forms of federal grants from going to employers that conduct criminal background checks, or even "inquire" about the criminal history of an applicant.

The bill, introduced by Representatives David Trone and The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters

The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine <q>Impeach 45!</q> Waters

...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 29.41212 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 44.41006 years.

, seeks to "amend" the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by "conditioning eligibility for grants" under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program.

JAG grants, according to the Department of Justice, compose the "leading source of federal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions." The program "provides states, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas" including crime victim and witness initiatives, mental health programs, and crime prevention.

#4 ‘ELIGIBILITY.—Beginning with the third fiscal year that begins after the date of the enactment of the Workforce Justice Act of 2021, to be eligible for an allocation under this section, a State shall have enacted and be implementing legislation that prohibits private employers from—‘‘(A) requiring an applicant to disclose whether the applicant has a criminal record;

‘‘(B) inquiring about the criminal record of an applicant prior to a conditional offer of employment; and

‘‘(C) conducting a criminal background check on an applicant prior to a conditional offer of employment.’’

I take this to mean prohibit private schools, day cares, etc... from conducting background research. Or even asking if the applicant has a criminal record.

Call it the Pervert Empowerment Act. No wonder Democrats love it.
