Maine General Guidelines
Me. Rev. Stat. Ann. tit. 5, § 5301; tit. 28A, § 703A; Code Me. R. 94348 Ch. 3, § 3.06(B7)
Rights of employees and applicants: No one can be denied employment because of refusing to answer a pre-employment inquiry that is unlawful under the Maine Human Rights Act or Maine Human Rights Commission Rules. A conviction is not an automatic bar to obtaining an occupational or professional license; only convictions that directly relate to the profession or occupation; that include dishonesty or false statements; that are subject to imprisonment for more than one year; or involve sexual misconduct on the part of a licensee may be considered.
Special situations: Liquor retailers may not employ anyone convicted of selling liquor to minors or selling liquor without a license within the past two years (for a first offense), or within the past five years (for a second offense).
