I'm not sure if or how I should answer this, given you don't seem to want to believe me after having answered this twice already. So, how about you do some research and report back to the group? If I've misread, great, I get to learn. If not, you get to learn. Fair enough?

> Businesses that sell criminal history information to employers are "consumer reporting agencies" (CRAs) if they provide the information in "consumer reports" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. (FCRA). Under FCRA, a CRA generally may not report records of arrests that did not result in entry of a judgment of conviction, where the arrests occurred more than seven years ago. However, they may report convictions indefinitely. (emph. added)
The FCRA does not wipe convictions after seven years.
