Rule 205-9.2 - [Effective 1/15/2025] Certificates of employability

(1) The provisions of this chapter apply to any application by an eligible offender to any public agency or private employer for employment, except where a mandatory forfeiture, disability or bar to employment is imposed by law and has not been removed by an executive pardon. The provisions of this chapter also apply to an application to a licensing agency by an eligible offender to obtain licensure required for employment.

(2) When a certificate of employability is presented to a public agency, the licensing agency cannot deny a license based on the felony conviction or based on a lack of good moral character unless the agency makes a determination that there is a direct relationship between the offense and the license sought or that the issuance of the license involves unreasonable risk to property or the safety and welfare of specific individuals or the general public.

(3) A certificate of employability does not prevent any judicial, administrative, licensing or other body, board or authority from relying upon the conviction specified therein as the basis for the exercise of its discretionary power to suspend, revoke, refuse to issue or refuse to renew any license, permit or other authority or privilege in accordance with the provisions set out in this chapter.
