The 10 board, agency, or department shall hold a closed session 11 while determining whether an applicant’s criminal record will 12 prevent the applicant from receiving a license and while 13 determining whether to deny an applicant’s application on 14 the basis of an applicant’s criminal conviction. A board, 15 agency, or department may charge a fee to recoup the costs of 16 such a determination, provided that such fee shall not exceed 17 twenty-five dollars. 18 6. a. A licensing board, agency, or department that 19 denies an applicant a license solely or partly because of 20 the applicant’s prior conviction of a crime shall notify the 21 applicant in writing of all of the following: 22 (1) The grounds for the denial or disqualification. 23 (2) That the applicant has the right to a hearing to 24 challenge the licensing authority’s decision. 25 (3) The earliest date the applicant may submit a new 26 application. 27 (4) That evidence of rehabilitation of the applicant may be 28 considered upon reapplication. 29 b.

A board, agency, or department may require an applicant 8 with a criminal record to submit the applicant’s complete 9 criminal record detailing an applicant’s offenses with an 10 application. A board, agency, or department may also require 11 an applicant with a criminal record to submit a personal 12 statement regarding whether each offense directly relates to 13 the duties and performance of the applicant’s occupation. For 14 the purposes of this subsection, “complete criminal record” 15 includes the complaint and judgment of conviction for each 16 offense of which the applicant has been convicted. 17 Sec. 30.
