In Texas, if you pull a background check on someone you're required to provide a copy to them which I always felt was a good minimal standard - at least then you know that someone pulled the check and what they found.

That's interesting because I've filed many things in Texas related to background checks in Texas and have never received a response. I'll edit this comment with more research about this, as this is personally a very interesting topic.

EDIT 1: A quick look shows a guidebook for employers which references this, but the link to the Texas state code talks about in-home employees. https://www.twc.texas.gov/news/efte/references_background_ch... I'm still unsure about the law related to other kinds of employees.

California is the same. Also, if someone runs a credit check, you can also request a copy of the report.

Required to vs can request is a huge difference.

Maybe their compare function is written in javascript. :)

As far as background checks in California, I thought they were only required to provide a copy if they decide to rescind their offer?
