Can an interviewer ask about criminal history during a first phone screener?

Not sure if this is the correct sub, but I’m dealing with some employment law issues in Connecticut. I can’t find any iron-clad answer to this online. Most sources say they can ask during an in-person interview but not on an initial application. So where does that leave the little pre-interview phone screener that many companies require? Can they ask about it then and if they do what does it entail. Thanks!
