The bill establishes provisions for the use of criminal history information at institutions of higher education and degree-granting proprietary institutions. It generally prohibits these institutions from inquiring about an applicant's criminal history on admission applications, except for a question about specific serious crimes. Institutions may consider an applicant's criminal history if it is voluntarily provided or included on a national application service. Institutions may deny admission based on certain serious crimes but must notify the applicant and allow an appeal.
