Regardless of regulation, I don't see anyone who has to disclose a criminal history getting a job, unless the employer is already open to giving formerly incarcerated people an opportunity.

So while your criminal history is being cross-referenced with the regulation to see how you qualify, the potential employer has already labeled you as an "ex-con" in their head.
