HB 39 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Pre-application determinations for licensing.

HB 39 creates a process allowing applicants with prior criminal convictions to seek a pre-application determination from professional licensing boards before formally applying for a license. The bill permits boards to access criminal history background information for this review and establish a fee to cover administrative costs (capped at actual expenses). This determination is not binding on the licensing board, meaning it does not guarantee license approval. The bill directly affects individuals seeking licenses in professions regulated under Wyoming law, such as healthcare or trades.
