Ban-The-Box & Fair Hiring Laws

STATE LAWS — PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES

Who must follow: This ban-the-box law applies only to public sector employers for the State of Utah, including counties and municipalities in the state.

Timing of inquiry: Public sector employers for the state of Utah may only inquire into criminal history during the initial interview or later; or, if no interview is conducted, until a conditional offer of employment.
