What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
