No Convicts Running the Capital Act

This bill would bar the District of Columbia government from hiring a person unless the person certifies they have not been finally convicted of a crime of violence or a dangerous crime. Within 90 days of the law taking effect, D.C. would have to fire current employees who have such a conviction. D.C. offices also could not sign contracts with vendors unless the vendor certifies it is not a covered vendor, meaning the vendor, its workers on the contract, its officers or directors, or its controlling owners do not have such a conviction. Existing contracts with covered vendors would have to be ended within 90 days.
