They should make those doctors pay for their patients addiction treatment. It's amazing how many horrible doctors there are out there.

This source states that "Vermont law doesn't limit employer use of criminal records."

So they are free to do so if they wish, thought there may be some requirements under federal laws like Title 7 and the FCRA.

Federal EEO laws make using criminal record checks a minefield.
In particular, this rule from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act:
Title VII prohibits employers from using policies or practices that screen individuals based on criminal history information if:
They significantly disadvantage Title VII-protected individuals such as African Americans and Hispanics; AND
They do not help the employer accurately decide if the person is likely to be a responsible, reliable, or safe employee.

In short FDA messed up big time in 1995. Years after the fact Doctors can not over prescribe Opioids due to required computer checking and addicts are forced to go to the street and buy cheap Heroin. Heroin is easier to get for a minor than an illegal 6-pack of beer. FDA is now approving Naloxone (Narcan®) so parents can save their addicted kids from an overdose. Kids hate it because Narcan brings them out of their high.
[h=1]FDA Timeline Addressing Opioid Misuse[/h]
1995
December: OxyContin (oxycodone controlled-release) approved; first formulation of oxycodone that allowed dosing every 12 hours instead of every 4 to 6 hours. OxyContin would soon become a focal point of opioid abuse issues that would continue to escalate into the late 2000s and beyond.

- At the time of approval, FDA believed the controlled-release formulation of OxyContin would result in less abuse potential, since the drug would be absorbed slowly and there would not be an immediate “rush” or high that would promote abuse. In part, FDA based its judgment on the prior marketing history of a similar product, MS Contin, a controlled-release formulation of morphine approved by FDA and used in the medical community since 1987 without significant reports of abuse and misuse.
- Also at the time of OxyContin’s approval, FDA product labeling warned of the danger of abuse of the drug and that crushing a controlled-release tablet followed by intravenous injection could result in a lethal overdose. There was no evidence to suggest at the time that crushing the controlled-release capsule followed by oral ingestion or snorting would become widespread and lead to a high level of abuse.

Not only VT....you can insert Maine in there as well.
...and worth the risk when they haven't opened a book in their lives.... Imho there needs to be some education with testing in addition to manual skills...in order to get OUT of prison. It's the only way they're going to learn that a job has to be earned...

My overall point though is that in Vermont the culture has really changed. There seems to be a "Take Care of No. 1" attitude over a collective interest in looking out for one another.

Sad, but also hysterical. That's like if I owed you $4000, and "repaid you" by pawning the $4000 guitar I stole from your house.
They obviously didnt do a background check, or they're (moronically) philosophically opposed to it.
It's a relatively recent addition to the liberal agenda. Not like issue #1 or #2, more like #19 or #20 down the line, but it's there. Several states with Democrat governors have pushed for this the last few years, and some have gotten it, at least for State employees (for now). Illinois was in the news recently for this, for example.
This is a great point too. I guarantee Smuggs doesn't have a sophisticated (or even basic frankly) ERP system in place like PeopleSoft or a satisfactory accounting or PO process with ACH payment. Makes it 1000x harder to embezzle.
Does the legislation cover perpetrators of felonies who are otherwise required to go door to door and announce their crimal histories to their neighbors, or are they not worthy of those protections?

Except that in Vermont this meant that she stole from the state to pay a municipality. It still has some irony, though.
