Limiting liability of employers for persons whose criminal records are expunged

This bill limits employer liability when an employee's drug addiction-related criminal record has been expunged. It requires the state to create a database tracking such expungements and mandates courts to check this database in employment-related cases. Employers are exempt from providing health insurance or covering health care costs for addiction or addiction-related diseases if an employee with an expunged drug offense record relapses during employment. The law specifically applies to drug addiction-related offenses, not all expunged records, and affects employers and employees in West Virginia who participate in return-to-work programs for recovering addicts.
