The committee discussed the need for a definition of  “full and fair consideration” of an ex offender in a hiring situation, and the possibility that the ordinance might, despite its language to the contrary, cause an ex offender to attempt a lawsuit or other challenge in the event they apply and are not hired.  Council Member Lee proposed that the committee hold a hearing and invite testimony from private sector employers who might be affected by this proposed policy so their opinions could be placed on the record.
