For those Employers who conduct county criminal records as background checks for their employment screening programs, please be aware that the federal budgetary debate and possible shutdown, may create a serious glitch in the ability to retrieve criminal records from the Washington, D.C. courthouses.
The continuing budget standoff between Congressional Republicans and the White House is about to come to a head unless a compromise can be reached before midnight on Friday, April 8th. Any government shutdown will likely cause disruptions in DC courts. In the event of a government shutdown, Corra Group researchers will continue daily trips to DC-area courthouses to check on court opening status.
We will keep you apprised of developments as information becomes available and we apologize for any inconvenience.
