I agree an employer has the right to know about a persons criminal past.I mean you have to tell an employer about your past(work history ans such) anyway why should an Ex-con be exempt on part of their past?Such a law is only going to make many employers less likely to hire anyone if they don't have to.Why take the risk if you can not legally request to know the persons past.

You know if you commit a crime and go to prison and you have a hard time getting a job when you get out too ****ing bad man you should have thought about the consequences of your actions and I guess the ex cons that truly do straighten out their lives well good things happen to be people who do the right thing so those people will find an employer who is willing to give the person a chance.

Also that law is 100% bull**** because companies get tax breaks(kick backs) for hiring ex-cons as it is already there are plenty of places that hire ex-cons ever been inside a restaurant or a 7/11?Those places hire them all the time that is a fine job to work for 4 or 5 years for an ex-con.(not to say that every employee is an ex-con or that they are necessarily no good)

I am sorry but it is just not right to give legal protection to a person who clearly showed that they at least at one point in time said:"**** the law."
