Summary

The bill lets individuals who face collateral sanctions from a conviction file a petition for a Certificate of Qualification for Employment. After a waiting period and a $50 filing fee (waivable for indigent applicants), a court reviews the petition and may issue the certificate, which creates a rebuttable presumption of fitness for licensure or employment. The certificate does not remove all bans, but it gives the holder a stronger chance to obtain jobs or professional licenses.
