What the law gives you in Florida

Florida protects you in government jobs only, so a private employer here can ask about your record on the application.

Private employers Government jobs only State law says the state, its agencies, any political subdivision and any municipality may not turn you down solely because of a prior conviction, and may deny you only for a felony or first-degree misdemeanor directly related to the job. None of that reaches private employers. Gainesville is the one Florida city that does: its Fair Chance Hiring Ordinance covers private employers with fifteen or more workers based in the city, bars any criminal history inquiry before a conditional offer, and requires an individualized assessment. Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Miami-Dade and the rest cover their own hiring, and Key West has nothing at all. Fla.
