My understanding that it is very similar to the EO for state employment recently issued by GA Gov Nathan Deal (certainly no Obamanista). In the initial interview a prospect cannot be asked about criminal convictions since knowledge of such a past would likely cause him or her to receive no serious consideration regardless of qualifications.  If the prospect advances to the point of being a finalist for a position then the criminal record would be fair game.
