Individuals will not be prevented from obtaining a professional license due to a prior criminal conviction which does not directly relate to the profession. Applicants may submit a preliminary application for licensure to the appropriate authority. The authority may charge up to $100 for this application, and must respond in writing within six months with their determination. The authority may advise on action the individual may take to remedy disqualifications.
