'The industry is still stuck in a "no one knows what to do about this problem"'

It's not that nobody knows - nobody cares. The lawyers will always advocate for not hiring anyone "risky". Be that criminal convictions, dismissed charges, or people with disabilities.

Sure but there are laws designed to prevent how far back they are able to look to find thaat information. And the laws aren't even being followed-- the lawyers should be telling them to follow them ... and yet.

Yeah, and there are laws about not discriminating against people with disabilities and they aren't being followed.
