Occupational Licensing and Certification - Criminal History - Predetermination Review Process

Summary

The bill creates a process that lets applicants request a review of their criminal history before a state department decides on an occupational license or certificate. It bars most departments from refusing a license solely because of a prior conviction unless the crime is directly related to the job or poses an unreasonable risk. A fee of up to $100 may be charged for the review, but can be waived for low‑income applicants.
