What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Safety and Professional Services, when conducting an investigation of the conviction record of a credential applicant, to review and obtain information to determine the circumstances of each case or offense, except that the bill allows DSPS, in its discretion, to complete its investigation of a conviction record without reviewing the circumstances of certain types of offenses specified in the bill. These offenses include certain first offense operating while intoxicated (OWI) and related violations; certain underage alcohol violations; minor, nonviolent ordinance violations, as determined by DSPS; and certain nonviolent offenses, as determined by DSPS, for which the person was adjudicated delinquent under the juvenile justice law or a similar law of another state.
