A. An individual with a criminal record may request a predetermination from a regulatory board within the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation or from the Department concerning whether his criminal record would disqualify him from obtaining a license, certificate, registration, or other authority to engage in a particular occupation, trade, or profession in the Commonwealth.
B. The licensing authority shall provide a written determination, indicating whether the individual's criminal record would disqualify him from obtaining the license, certificate, registration, or other authority. Such determination shall be binding unless the individual's criminal record changes after the determination or the individual provides false information.
C. No licensing authority shall require an individual to complete any educational or training requirements prior to submitting a request for predetermination.
