One is SB 2488, which would effectively strip Austin of its ability to ban a private employer from asking whether a new applicant has a criminal history.

Creighton’s other bill, SB 2486, prevents Austin from mandating when and how private companies can schedule their employees. Council member Greg Casar calls these bills “disgraceful.”
