RICHMOND, VA (AP) -- Applications for state jobs in the executive branch no longer will include questions regarding a person's criminal history.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed an executive order removing criminal history questions from the applications on Friday during a news conference at Goodwill Industries in Richmond.
McAuliffe says in a news release that the order will eliminate unnecessary obstacles for Virginians who deserve a second chance.
The order applies to all agencies, boards and commissions within the executive branch of government that are subject to the governor's authority. |
