Michigan bill would ban employers from asking about felony convictions on job applications

Michigan bill would ban employers from asking about felony convictions on job applications | MLive.com: ""Ban-the-box" legislation introduced in March by Rep. Fred Durhal Jr., D-Detroit, would ban employers from asking about felony convictions on applications unless the position bans such felons, such as police officers.
Employers could still ask about criminal history during interviews and conduct background checks.
Someone who alleges a violation could sue the employer.
.......Detroit, Kalamazoo, Muskegon County and Saginaw County are among jurisdictions in Michigan that already ban the box."
