Individuals who have been convicted of certain penal code violations (see application packet) will not be certified unless the individual submits written evidence obtained from the court of “rehabilitation” (if a felony) or a dismissal of the violation (if a misdemeanor). If you have been convicted of one of these crimes, you should be aware that you cannot be certified unless you meet the specified conditions of rehabilitation or dismissal issued by the courts and have received approval from the Department of Health Services. All other convictions not listed, except minor traffic violations, are subject to department review and require that you submit additional information.
