Relating to use of criminal records as disqualification from authorization to practice a particular profession

Summary

The bill tells the Labor Commissioner that a past conviction can only stop someone from getting a license if the crime is directly tied to the job and the person has not been rehabilitated. After five years without another crime, and if the conviction is not violent or sexual, the applicant cannot be barred. It also creates a formal petition for people to ask the commissioner to review their record and bans the use of arrests that did not lead to convictions.
