Use of order.

(a) When applying for a license, an applicant may attach to the application a valid order of limited relief granted under Section 12-26-9.

(b) An occupational licensing board may not automatically deny an application for a license or revoke an existing license because of a criminal conviction when a valid order of limited relief has been issued for the otherwise disqualifying conviction or convictions in question; provided, however, an occupational licensing board may consider the conduct underlying a conviction upon which an order of limited relief was granted and may deny, revoke, or suspend a license based on that underlying conduct.

(c) This section does not apply to law enforcement employment, Alabama Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission certification, or the issuance of drivers' licenses.

(Act 2019-464, §12(b)-12(d).)
