Background Check, Drug Test & Hiring Screening Rule Watch

Track hiring screening rules in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: fair chance, ban-the-box and clean slate law changes by state and city with effective dates; cannabis, drug and alcohol testing rule changes for applicants and employees; credit check, salary history and social media screening restrictions; FCRA, CFPB, FTC and state enforcement actions and settlements against background check companies and employers with applicant remedies; AI, automated decision and video interview screening laws and enforcement; occupational licensing reforms for people with records; DOT, FMCSA, federal contractor and security clearance testing rule changes; and screening policy changes at employers with 10,000 or more staff. Prefer state legislatures and labor departments, the CFPB, FTC, EEOC, DOT, court documents, employer announcements and established employment reporting; ignore law-firm marketing and unverified anecdotes. Put the jurisdiction, agency or employer first in the title and state what an applicant can now refuse, dispute or claim. Use high severity for a law taking effect within 90 days in a state with 5 million or more workers, a settlement with a claims process, or a testing rule change at DOT. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
