Pennsylvania - law of disclosure (criminal Record)?


My husband got caught for Retail theft in 1998 and 1999 (he was 18 and 19) It has been almost ten years is he required by law to disclose that information on employment applications? Both charges were misdemeanors. I am just wondering because he was turned down for a job today even though these acts were committed 10 years ago.

What are the laws for pennsylvania concerning disclosure of this kind of stuff? Can he have this stuff expunged from his record? How much does that cost (to have it expunged?)

Any info is appreciated... Thanks!!
Additional Details
He was turned down for a job because of his history. They said he could "steal" customers information, and told him they couldn't hire him. This was 10 freaking years ago he was still what could be termed as an immature adolescent.

He probably should disclose this information, because a background check will most likely find this information, and the best thing he can do is be honest. However, most background check agencies only search for crimes (misdemeanors and felonies) for the past 7 years. If this is the case then those misdemeanors cannot be a determining factor for hire. Also, some companies do search the past 10 years. So just to be safe, I would recommend him disclosing the information, just to be on the safe and honest side, although it probably will not be used against him. Good luck!
