On Monday, June 29, 2015, Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law the bill passed by the New York City Council “banning-the-box.” The law goes into effect on Tuesday, October 27, 2015.

New York City’s law also imposes additional requirements upon the employer when making an adverse employment decision on the basis of criminal conviction history.
