Rule 193F-13.3 - [Effective until 5/22/2024] Eligibility determination

(1)Eligibility determination. An individual who has not yet submitted a completed license application may petition the board for an eligibility determination of whether one or more of the individual's convictions are disqualifying offenses that would prevent the individual from being licensed. A petitioner may submit a petition for eligibility determination at any time prior to applying for a license. An applicant for licensure is not required to petition the board for an eligibility determination prior to applying for a license. To petition the board for an eligibility determination of whether one or more of the petitioner's convictions are disqualifying offenses, a petitioner must submit all of the following:

a. A completed eligibility determination form, which is available on the board's website;

b. The complete criminal record for each of the petitioner's convictions;

c. A personal statement regarding whether each conviction directly relates to the practice of the profession;

d. All evidence of rehabilitation that the petitioner wishes to be considered by the board; and

e. Payment of a nonrefundable fee in the amount of $25.

(2)lime and manner of decision. The board has 30 days from receiving a petition for eligibility determination, or until the next regularly scheduled board meeting, whichever is later, to make a decision. The board may make a decision after discussing the petition for eligibility determination at a board meeting, in closed session, or may authorize staff to make decisions on petitions for eligibility determinations or license applications. A written decision will be sent to the petitioner or applicant by regular mail and, if an email address was provided, by email.

(3)Inaccurate or incomplete information. If the information supplied in connection with a petition for eligibility determination is not accurate or is incomplete, or if applicable laws, rules, or guidelines change or are impacted by intervening board orders or case law, the board's eligibility determination shall not be binding on a future board.
