As of June 9, 2018, employers of Kansas City employees will be prohibited from inquiring into or using criminal record information when making employment decisions.  This ordinance amends the Kansas City Human Relations Act, and follows in the footsteps of a similar ordinance passed in 2014, eliminating such criminal history inquiries when considering applicants for government positions.
