What’s in it

This bill sets limitations on the ability of cities and counties, referred to as “political subdivisions”, to regulate professions and occupations. The bill prohibits political subdivisions from imposing any new licensing requirements or professional or occupational fees beginning January 1, 2020. Political subdivisions may continue to impose any existing licensing requirements or fees prior to that date. _____ to refuse to grant a license on the basis of an applicant’s criminal record by requiring licensing authorities to specifically list the offenses that could disqualify an applicant and to specifically detail the grounds for disqualification of each applicant.

Read the full explanation

A licensing authority cannot disqualify an applicant for an arrest not followed by a conviction or for a conviction that occurred more than five years ago, provided that the offense was not violent or sexual in nature, or based on a finding that an applicant lacks good character or suffers from moral turpitude. A disqualified person who commits an additional disqualifying offense during the period of disqualification or who is disqualified based on a violent or sexual crime may not be disqualified for longer than five years following release from incarceration. An applicant who is denied a license on the basis of a criminal record is entitled to an administrative review and any review in civil court permitted by Code chapter 17A. The licensing authority bears the burden of proof in such proceedings. The bill also requires licensing authorities to respond to inquiries as to whether an individual’s criminal record would disqualify the individual from obtaining a license.3.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill. The bill applies to licensing decisions made on or after January 1, 2020.
