An Act relative to creating uniform standards for section 12 and 15 license applications

This bill amends license application rules for certain professional licenses (specifically referenced in Sections 12 and 15 of Chapter 138). It changes the automatic rejection of applicants with any felony conviction by adding a provision: individuals with felony convictions older than 10 years before applying may demonstrate rehabilitation. Licensing authorities must then consider this rehabilitation and whether the conviction should not automatically block the license. This directly affects applicants with past felony convictions who are seeking these specific licenses.
