PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 80A.4, Code 1999, is amended by adding 1 2 the following new subsection: 1 3 NEW SUBSECTION. 4. Notwithstanding subsection 1, the 1 4 department may adopt rules in accordance with this subsection 1 5 that authorize the issuance of a license to an individual who 1 6 is otherwise disqualified pursuant to the criteria enumerated 1 7 in subsection 1. An applicant issued a license pursuant to 1 8 such rules shall also comply with such other qualifications 1 9 and requirements as are adopted by rule. 1 10 a. When an individual who is otherwise disqualified 1 11 pursuant to the criteria enumerated in subsection 1 applies 1 12 for a license, the department shall perform an evaluation to 1 13 determine whether the disqualification warrants prohibition of 1 14 licensure. 1 15 b. In an evaluation, the department shall consider factors 1 16 related to the disqualification, including the nature, 1 17 seriousness, and circumstances of the disqualification in 1 18 relation to licensure, the time elapsed since the act or acts 1 19 forming the basis for such disqualification, the degree of 1 20 rehabilitation, and any other factors relevant to the 1 21 disqualification, such as the likelihood that the person will 1 22 commit the act or acts again and the total number of 1 23 disqualifying acts committed by the individual involved. 1 24 c. The department may establish conditional requirements 1 25 related to the granting of a license under this subsection. 1 26 d. The department has final authority in determining 1 27 whether prohibition of the license is warranted and in 1 28 developing any conditional requirements under this subsection. 1 29 EXPLANATION 1 30 This bill authorizes the department of public safety to 1 31 adopt rules consistent with this subsection that would 1 32 authorize the issuance of a license for a bail enforcement 1 33 agent, private investigator, or security agent to an 1 34 individual who did not otherwise meet the criteria set forth 1 35 for such a license. 2 1 The department could grant a license to an individual 2 2 otherwise disqualified after conducting an evaluation of the 2 3 individual and the disqualification, including but not limited 2 4 to the nature, seriousness, and circumstances of the 2 5 disqualification in relation to licensure, the time elapsed 2 6 since the act or acts forming the basis for such 2 7 disqualification, the degree of rehabilitation, and any other 2 8 factors relevant to the disqualification, such as the 2 9 likelihood that the person will commit the act or acts again 2 10 and the total number of disqualifying acts committed by the 2 11 individual involved. The department could also conditionally 2 12 grant a license, based on the performance of certain 2 13 requirements by the licensee. The department would be the 2 14 final authority on decisions to grant a license and the 2 15 establishment of conditions for the granting of such a 2 16 license. 2 17 LSB 1251DP 78 2 18 jj/gg/8
