Idaho Statutes Title 67. State Government and State Affairs § 67-9411. Evaluation of criminal convictions

(1) A licensing authority shall not deny, suspend, revoke, or discipline a license, certificate, registration, permit, or other authorization to practice a profession or occupation on the basis of a person having a prior conviction of a crime, unless such conviction is currently relevant to the person's fitness to engage in such profession or occupation as determined by the licensing authority. The licensing authority shall make its determination based on consideration of the following factors:

(2) A licensing authority shall not deny, suspend, revoke, or discipline a license, certificate, registration, permit, or other authorization to practice a profession or occupation on the basis of vague or generic terminology related to a criminal conviction, including but not limited to “moral turpitude” or “moral character.” Where such terms appear in code or rule with respect to a criminal conviction, a licensing authority shall conduct a relevancy evaluation pursuant to subsection (1) of this section.

(3) In lieu of denying licensure to an applicant based on a prior criminal conviction, a licensing authority may, after considering the factors as set forth in subsection (1) of this section, issue conditional licensure for a period of one (1) year. Upon successful completion of the probational conditions, the licensing authority shall issue a full, unrestricted license. Any failure to successfully complete the probational conditions shall result in revocation of the conditional licensure and denial of full, unrestricted licensure.
