What the law gives you in Kansas

Kansas banned the box for state government jobs only, so a private employer here can still ask on the application.

Private employers Government jobs only The 2018 order covers executive branch agencies under the Governor, not contractors or local government, and it says outright that it creates no right enforceable against the state. It is being followed, though: the current state employment application carries no criminal history question at all. Private employers are untouched, and Wichita publishes only a job-relatedness standard, not a ban the box rule. Expungement is your lever, and once a record is expunged Kansas law lets you answer no. Kansas Executive Order 18-12 (state agency hiring); expungement and the right to answer no, K.S.A. § 21-6614(k) · checked September 17, 2026
