CA AB2461

Expands Labor Code Section 432.7 to include nonsworn employees of criminal justice agencies (for positions involving evidence collection, analysis, or activities related to peace officer duties) as an exception to the prohibition on employers asking about arrests or detentions that did not result in conviction.

Amends Penal Code Section 13203 to authorize criminal justice agencies to release information about arrests or detentions of nonsworn criminal justice agency employees and applicants for nonsworn positions to their governmental agency employers, matching the existing authority for peace officers.

Specifies that criminal justice agencies must determine whether diversion programs were completed, charges were dismissed, or individuals were exonerated before releasing arrest information about nonsworn employees or applicants.

Makes nonsubstantive grammatical changes to existing provisions, including changing "shall" to "does" and "government" to "governmental" throughout the affected sections.
