In licensure, apart from not having a felony, what other criminal-history condition applies?

• A. Not having been convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude
• B. Must disclose all convictions regardless
• C. Not having been finally convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude
• D. Must have no prior professional license revocation

Answer: (C)

Criminal-history checks for licensure focus on final convictions for crimes involving moral turpitude. Moral turpitude refers to acts that inherently violate honesty or morality, such as fraud or theft. The eligibility standard is that you have not been finally convicted of any such crime, meaning the judgment has become final after all appeals. This distinguishes from cases that are still pending or have been overturned on appeal, which do not meet the “final” criterion. This makes the requirement clear and enforceable: no final conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude. The other options describe disclosures or conditions (like no prior license revocation or all convictions disclosed) that are not the specific licensure standard conveyed here.
