A Summary of Citizens’ Rights & Using Anderson County Public Records Ethically

While the state of Tennessee and Anderson County make many criminal, vital and property records available to the public, the expectation is that those requesting the information handle it appropriately.

When seeking these records for personal reasons, such as gaining information about a family member or potential partner, gathering information prior to purchasing a home or requesting information to obtain a state ID card, it’s crucial that requesters not use this information for malicious practices.

For example, inquirers cannot use the information found on public records to harass, stalk or intimidate another individual or for identity theft purposes. Using these details for these purposes is a crime, and the requester can be arrested and charged. When using online services, searchers typically must agree to use the available information only for personal reasons and not for malicious activities.

Employers must also adhere to a variety of laws designed to prevent discrimination against individuals with prior criminal records. Two laws in particular impact employers, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Ban-the-Box law.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act is a federal law impacting employers across the country, including those in Anderson County.³⁰ While this act does not prohibit employers from running background checks on employees and candidates, it does require employers to obtain written consent before conducting a background check.

If this information on this background check causes an adverse action impacting the employee or candidate, the employer must notify the individual in person and in writing and provide a copy of the report where the information was obtained.

The governor of Tennessee signed the Ban-the-Box Law in 2016.³¹ This law prevents employers from using criminal background checks when making initial hiring decisions. Once a job offer is made to a candidate, the employer can then obtain the individual’s criminal record.

Based on this information, the employer does have the right to rescind the initial job offer, but they must notify the candidate in writing as to why they are rescinding the offer and provide a copy of all records used to make this decision. The employer must also give the candidate the opportunity to respond to this decision and provide any relevant information.

Individuals who feel that their criminal record was used inappropriately by an employer can contact several agencies to file a complaint, including:

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission — The EEOC handles cases of workplace discrimination. Individuals who believe their criminal record was wrongly used against them can file a complaint with the EEOC for employment discrimination. Interested parties can file a complaint using the EEOC public portal or by contacting the nearest EEOC office at the following address:³²

220 Athens Way, Suite 350
Nashville, TN 37228

Phone: (629)-236-2240

Federal Trade Commission — Individuals who believe an employer conducted a criminal background check without their permission can file a complaint with the FTC. Applicants can also file a complaint if they were turned down for a job due to their criminal background, but the employer did not provide them with the required documentation or written notification. Individuals can file complaints at the FTC’s online fraud center.³³

Tennessee Human Rights Commission — Applicants or employees who believe they were discriminated against in the workplace due to their criminal record can also file a complaint with the Tennessee Human Rights Commission.

Impacted individuals can file a complaint using the commission’s online form, print the required form and mail it to the address listed on the complaint, contact the commission directly at (800)-251-3589 or visit its Nashville office at:³⁴
