"In April 2012, the EEOC issued its “Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions under Title VII.” The Guidance declares a hiring policy or practice that “screens out a Title VII-protected group” is unlawful unless the employer can show the policy or practice is “job related for the positions in question and consistent with business necessity.” In other words, an employer cannot have a blanket ban on hiring individuals with a criminal record."

I don't agree with it, this isn't "the Biden administration saying yes". It was more the Obama administration saying yes, followed by the Trump administration keeping the guidance in place, followed by the Biden administration following the lead of the Trump administration and keeping the guidance in place again.
