Vermont Background Check Data Supplier
The Value of a Reliable Public Record Information in Vermont
With over 20 years of experience, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides wholesale public records retrieval services.
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) often initiate background checks at the county level, where criminal charges and conviction records are typically filed. However, relying solely on county-level searches may limit the scope of a background check due to jurisdictional boundaries. Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides both statewide and county criminal searches in Vermont to ensure comprehensive coverage.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) protects consumer privacy by regulating the accuracy and use of data provided by CRAs. Access to precise background check information in Vermont allows employers to make informed hiring decisions and helps mitigate the risks associated with negligent hiring claims.

Background Data Restrictions and Regulations in Vermont
Vermont has a range of laws and regulations governing background checks to protect individual privacy and ensure fair hiring practices. Below are the key laws that apply:
Vermont Fair Employment Practices (21 V.S.A. § 495h - Ban-the-Box Law):
Vermont’s Ban-the-Box law prohibits employers, both public and private, from asking about an applicant’s criminal history on initial job applications. Employers can only inquire into criminal history after a conditional offer of employment has been made, ensuring that candidates are not unfairly disqualified early in the hiring process.
Vermont Access to Criminal Records (13 V.S.A. § 5411a):
Employers seeking access to criminal records must obtain written consent from the applicant. Vermont limits the use of certain records in employment decisions, including:
- Arrests without convictions: Employers generally cannot use arrest records that did not lead to a conviction.
- Expunged or sealed records: Vermont allows individuals to petition for the expungement or sealing of certain nonviolent misdemeanors and felonies. Expunged or sealed records are not accessible to employers unless legally unsealed, meaning they cannot be considered in hiring decisions.
- Minor offenses: Certain minor offenses, especially those that have been decriminalized (such as small amounts of marijuana possession), cannot be used in employment decisions.
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Compliance in Vermont:
Employers must comply with the FCRA when conducting background checks. This federal law ensures that the information reported is accurate, relevant, and up to date. Employers must notify applicants if an adverse hiring decision is made based on the background check and provide them with a copy of the report and a summary of their rights under the FCRA.
Vermont’s Data Breach Notification Law (9 V.S.A. § 2435):
Vermont law requires businesses to notify affected individuals and the Vermont Attorney General’s Office in the event of a data breach involving personal information, such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or financial account details. This law ensures that personal data is protected and that businesses take responsibility for securing sensitive information.
