A Review - US Clean Slate Law
Webinar

Registration open Soon
Track: Legal/Compliance
What you'll learn in this session:
This will be a review and follow up to the Annual Conference session on “Clean slate” laws. How they operate to wipe the criminal record slate clean for individuals convicted of certain crimes and under certain circumstances. These laws have been passed in various jurisdictions, and legislation is pending in additional jurisdictions. This webinar will survey the various differences among these laws, and also will discuss how these laws implicate compliance with following “reasonable procedures” under the FCRA. This program also will discuss some of the new legal theories being advanced by the Plaintiffs’ bar relating to “clean slate” laws.
