(a) A person who is applying for a license or registration under ORS 342.120 to 342.430 as a teacher, administrator or personnel specialist if the person has not submitted to a criminal records check by the commission within the previous three years or has remained continuously licensed by or registered with the commission for a different license or registration for which the person already has submitted to a criminal records check by the commission.

(b) A person who is applying for reinstatement of a license or registration as a teacher, administrator or personnel specialist, or a certificate as a school nurse, whose license, registration or certificate has lapsed for at least three years.

(c) A person who is applying for a certificate under ORS 342.475 as a school nurse.

(d) A person who is registering with the commission for supervised clinical practice experience, practicum or internship as a teacher, administrator or personnel specialist, if the person does not hold a current license issued by the commission and has not submitted to a criminal records check by the commission within the previous three years for student teaching, practicum or internship as a teacher, administrator or personnel specialist.

(e) A person who is applying for a registration as a public charter school teacher or administrator under ORS 342.125.

(2) The making of any false statement as to the conviction of a crime is grounds for refusal to issue, renew or reinstate a license, certificate or registration and is in addition to the grounds stated in ORS 342.143.

(3) A person may appeal the refusal to issue a license, registration or certificate under this section as a contested case under ORS 183.413 to 183.470, but the refusal to renew or reinstate a license or registration is subject to ORS 342.175 to 342.180, and the commission shall notify the person of the right to appeal.
