(1)
Disclosure. An applicant must disclose all convictions on a
license application. Failure to disclose all convictions is grounds for license
denial or disciplinary action following license issuance.

Submission of criminal record and
personal statement. An applicant with one or more convictions shall
submit the complete criminal record for each conviction and a personal
statement regarding whether each conviction directly relates to the practice of

complete.

Submission of
evidence of rehabilitation. An applicant must submit as part of the
license application all evidence of rehabilitation that the applicant wishes to
be considered by the board.
(4)
Board authority. The board may deny a license if the applicant
has a disqualifying offense unless the applicant demonstrates by clear and
convincing evidence that the applicant is rehabilitated pursuant to Iowa Code
section 272C.15.
(5)
Licensure requirements.
An applicant with one or more disqualifying offenses who has been found
rehabilitated must still satisfy all other requirements for
