Pre-Licensing Determinations

Assembly Bill 319 (2019) allows an individual to petition a professional or occupational licensing board for a determination of whether the person's criminal history will disqualify them from obtaining a license.

Requesting a Pre-Licensing Determination

If you would like to request a pre-licensing determination, please email the Board at board@nvspeechhearing.org and include ALL of the following: 

  • Your full name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and license type you would like to apply for;
  • A detailed explanation of your request and the incident(s) in question;
  • Copies of all available supporting documentation to support the request (i.e. court orders, probation reports, etc.). These may also be mailed to the Board Office. 

Review

The Board's Executive Director will review all documentation provided and may contact the Petitioner for further clarification and/or to request additional documentation to substantiate the circumstances and/or resolution of the incident reported. After this review, the Executive Director will either: 

  • Make a determination on the matter; OR
  • Place the matter on the agenda of the next meeting for a review by the Board.
