Bill > SF3848

This bill requires licensing boards in Minnesota to take action against a professional license or application if the individual holding or applying for the license is convicted of certain theft or fraud offenses. Specifically, it amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 214.10, subdivision 2a, to mandate that a board must start proceedings to suspend or revoke a license, or refuse to renew one, if the licensee or applicant is convicted of violating specific statutes related to fraud, theft, or related crimes, including offenses like theft by false representation (section 609.52) and certain types of financial exploitation. The bill also adds new offenses to this list, such as violations related to the unlawful possession of stolen property (sections 609.496 and 609.497) and certain fraudulent schemes (section 609.542). This change aims to strengthen fraud prevention by ensuring that individuals convicted of these serious offenses are subject to disciplinary action by their respective professional licensing boards.
