County Fair Chance Ordinance](https://www.choicescreening.com/hs-fs/hubfs/L.A.%20County%20Fair%20Chance%20Ordinance.jpg?width=1490&height=727&name=L.A.%20County%20Fair%20Chance%20Ordinance.jpg) Los Angeles passed a sweeping Fair Chance Act ordinance that went into effect September 3, 2024 and covers the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles county. The ordinance impacts job postings, job descriptions, offer letters, criminal record self-disclosures, records that may be considered by employers, the content of adverse action notices, and the decision-making process when making and revoking job offers. Of note, Los Angeles county is now requiring that adverse action notices be sent to candidates by both mail and email to any individual whose job involves performing at least two hours of work on average each week within the unincorporated areas of the county. Electronic (email) adverse action notices will still be available to send through the Choice Screening platform; however, the required documents will need to be mailed to the candidate from the employer if the individual meets the qualification above.
