Oklahoma HB2735 amends the criteria for denying occupational licenses based on criminal history.

Oklahoma HB2735 modifies the criteria for denying occupational licenses based on criminal history. It specifies that a conviction, plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or pending criminal charge may prevent a person from receiving a license if it substantially relates to the duties and responsibilities of the occupation and poses a reasonable threat to public safety, health, or welfare. The bill excludes certain offenses, such as those involving domestic violence or crimes of dishonesty or fraud, from this consideration.
