OKLAHOMA CITY — Lawmakers are expected to revise an effort next session to make it easier for felons who have served their time to get jobs.

Last session, Sen. Jack Stewart, R-Yukon, filed Senate Bill 1077, called the Ban the Box legislation. It would bar employers from asking on a job application or during the hiring process whether a candidate has felony conviction.

But the bill would allow employers to request a background report if a conditional employment offer has been made.
