Bans D.C. government from hiring or contracting with people convicted of violent or dangerous crimes.
This bill would stop the District of Columbia government from hiring people who have been convicted of violent or dangerous crimes. It would also prevent the D.C. government from working with companies that employ, are run by, or are owned by such individuals. Current employees and contracts involving these individuals would be ended within 90 days if the bill becomes law.
Today, federal law does not stop the District of Columbia government from hiring people or contracting with companies that involve individuals convicted of violent or dangerous crimes. If this bill becomes law, the D.C. government would be blocked from hiring such individuals and would have to fire current employees with these convictions within 90 days. It would also be prevented from signing new contracts with "covered vendors" and would have to end existing contracts with them within 90 days.
