(a) Disclosure.--
(1) Except if requested or required by a criminal justice agency, or if disclosure to noncriminal justice agencies is authorized or required by section 9121(b.1) and (b.2) (relating to general regulations), an individual may not be required or requested to disclose information about the individual's criminal history record that has been expunged or provided limited access under section 9122.1 (relating to petition for limited access) or 9122.2 (relating to clean slate limited access). An individual required or requested to provide information in violation of this section may respond as if the offense did not occur.
(2) This subsection shall not apply if Federal law, including rules and regulations promulgated by a self-regulatory organization that has been created under Federal law, requires the consideration of an applicant's criminal history for purposes of employment.
(b) Disqualification by law.--An expunged record or a record subject to limited access under section 9122.1 or 9122.2 may not be considered a conviction that would prohibit the employment of a person under any law of this Commonwealth or under Federal laws that prohibit employment based on State convictions to the extent permitted by Federal law.
