There is no one federal law that specifically addresses employment applications, although there are record retention guidelines under a variety of federal laws (see the Recordkeeping topic) and non-discrimination provisions for hiring in general (see the Discrimination topic).
Montana law provides that it is unlawful for an employer to use an employment application that expresses discrimination in regard to sex, marital status, age, physical or mental disability, race, creed, religion, color, or national origin unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification.
