Employment Question: Can I ask an ex-felon this?

[Quibble]You mean at-will employment states. “Right to work” laws prohibit employers from requiring union membership of all employees.[/Quibble]

I Googled and I found this:

http://www.selection.com/pdfs/statelaw_criminalchecks.pdf (only Oklahoma statute cited applies only to sealed arrest and criminal records).

If you take a look at the statute, you’ll see that

O.S. sec. 22-19
For actual searching of court records–you won’t find arrest records, but if he’s been charged, it looks like you can find that–here: http://www.odcr.com/

You can find the statutes here:

That’s what I found from Googling. Not legal advice; not even thorough legal research. Talk to a lawyer for that.

And here is the state Supreme Court website (Oklahoma State Courts Network) which has some cases and other materials that are searchable.

And a pretty handy legal research guide: http://www.ecok.edu/academics/acad_resources/library/research_guides/legalstudies.asp

Oh yeah, here are some employment law links:
