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.
