Instructions for Answering Criminal Conviction Inquiry
California Applicants: Do not identify any misdemeanor conviction for which probation has been successfully completed or otherwise discharged
and the case has been dismissed by a court. Also, do not identify marijuana-related convictions entered by the court more than 2 years ago that involve:
unlawful possession of marijuana; transportation or giving away up to 28.5 grams of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis, or the offering
to transport or give away up to 28.5 grams of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis; possession of paraphernalia used to smoke marijuana;
being in a place with knowledge that marijuana was being used; or being under the influence of marijuana.
Connecticut Applicants: Applicants are not required to disclose the existence of any arrest, criminal charge, or conviction, the records of which
have been erased pursuant to section 46b – 146, 54 -76o or 54 – 142a of the Connecticut General Statutes. Criminal records subject to erasure under
these sections are records pertaining to a finding of delinquency or the fact that a child was a member of a family with service needs, an adjudication
as a youthful offender, a criminal charge that has been dismissed or nolled (not prosecuted), a criminal charge for which the person was found not
guilty, or a conviction for which the offender received an absolute pardon. Any person whose criminal records have been erased pursuant to these
sections is deemed to have never been arrested within the meaning of the law as it applies to the particular proceedings that have been erased, and so
may swear under oath.
District of Columbia Applicants: Do not identify any guilty plea that was discharged by the court under Georgia’s First Offender Act.
Hawaii Applicants: Do not answer this question at this time. You will only have to answer this question if you receive a conditional offer of employment.
At that time, you will be asked whether you have been convicted of a crime within the past ten (10) years.
Massachusetts Applicants: An applicant for employment with a sealed record on file with the Commissioner of Probation may answer “no record”
with respect to an inquiry herein relative to prior arrests, criminal court appearances or convictions. In addition, an applicant for employment may
answer “no record” with respect to an inquiry relative to prior arrests, court appearances and adjudications in all cases of delinquency or as a child
in need of services which did not result in a complaint transferred to the superior court for criminal prosecution. Massachusetts applicants should
not disclose information regarding first-time misdemeanor convictions for drunkenness, simple assault, speeding, minor traffic violations, affray or
disturbance of the peace. Finally, Massachusetts applicants should not disclose convictions for other misdemeanors where the date of conviction or
the end of any period of incarceration was more than five years ago unless there have been subsequent convictions within those five years.
New York Applicants: You may answer “no record” concerning any criminal proceeding that terminated in your favor, per section 160.50 of the
New York Criminal Procedure Law; any criminal proceeding that terminated in a “youthful offender adjudication”, as defined in section 720.35 of
