Maryland Background Check Data Supplier
The Value of a Reliable Public Record Information in Maryland
With over 20 years of experience, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides wholesale public records retrieval services.
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) often initiate criminal background investigations at the county level, as this is where the majority of criminal charges and conviction records are documented. However, the scope of county-level searches can be restricted due to each county’s geographical limits. In Maryland, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides criminal searches at both the county and state levels.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to protect the privacy of consumer report information and ensure the accuracy of the information supplied by CRAs. With access to reliable background check data in Maryland, CRAs can provide their clients with comprehensive and accurate background checks. This allows employers to make informed hiring decisions and reduces the likelihood of facing negligent hiring lawsuits.

Background Data Restrictions and Regulations in Maryland
In Maryland, there are several restrictions and regulations on how employers can access and use background data as part of the hiring process. Here are some key points:
Ban the Box:
Maryland law prohibits certain criminal record screening practices. Employers with 15 or more full-time employees are prohibited from requiring an applicant for employment to disclose whether the applicant has a criminal record or has had criminal accusations brought against them prior to the first in-person interview. This law is broader than full-time employment and includes contractual, temporary, seasonal or contingent work.
Exemptions:
There are exemptions from the law. An employer is not prohibited from making a criminal background inquiry if the employer is required to do so or is expressly authorized to do so by another applicable state or federal law.
Job Applicant Fairness Act:
This act generally prohibits employers in Maryland from using a job applicant or employee's credit report to determine: (1) whether to hire a job applicant; (2) whether to terminate an employee; or (3) the rate of pay or other conditions of employment to offer an employee.
Local Laws:
In addition to state laws, local jurisdictions such as Baltimore and Montgomery County have implemented their own restrictions. For example, in Baltimore, background checks may only be conducted after extending an initial offer of employment.
These restrictions and regulations are designed to protect the privacy rights of individuals and ensure fairness in the hiring process.
