Question:
What if I have felony or misdemeanor convictions, can I still get my license?
Answer:
Although the Registrar of Contractors (ROC) requires a background check, it is important to note that not all criminal convictions will cause an application or renewal to be denied. Criminal convictions are reviewed to determine if the crime is substantially related to the duties, qualifications, and/or functions of a contractor. The ROC also reviews and considers evidence of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can be shown by counseling, gainful employment, passage of time without repeat violations, or completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program, etc.… Applicants who still are on probation after a conviction, particularly a felony conviction, may experience more difficulty in demonstrating rehabilitation, due, in part, to the limited amount of time that has elapsed since the conviction.
