Bill > S03250

This bill, known as the "preliminary license application navigation (PLAN) act", amends the correction law to require public agencies that consider an applicant's criminal history as part of a license application or clearance process to establish preliminary license application procedures. Under the bill, individuals can submit a preliminary application to determine if their criminal history would render them ineligible for a specific license. The public agency must review the application, request any necessary criminal history reports, and provide a written determination within a set timeframe, advising the applicant of any actions they can take to remedy ineligibility. The bill also requires public agencies to annually report on various aspects of the preliminary application process, such as the number of applications filed and the outcomes of eligibility determinations.
