New-Hampshire-Employment-Licensing

Employers and licensing agencies may not ask job seekers and license applicants whether their criminal history includes an annulled offense.  Beyond this, there are no limits on application-stage inquiries, or other restrictions on how public or private employers may consider criminal records.  Licensing boards may reject an application due to a criminal conviction only if 1) it was for a felony or violent misdemeanor and 2) there is public safety risk.  Licensing agencies may provide preliminary determination about whether a conviction would be disqualifying, and they must provide a written reason for a denial decision and an opportunity to appeal.
