What criminal history would prevent a person from receiving certification to be a trainer?
(1) The board may investigate the criminal history of a person applying for trainer certification. The board may also use a point system and deny an application if an applicant's criminal history totals eight or more points. Points are set as follows:
Description | Time period during which points will be assigned | Points the board will assign |
Felony conviction | 10 years | 12 points |
Currently under federal or state supervision for a felony conviction | n/a | 8 points |
Gross misdemeanor conviction | 3 years | 5 points |
Driving under the influence conviction | 3 years | 5 points |
Misdemeanor conviction | 3 years | 4 points |
Nondisclosure of any of the above | n/a | 4 points |
(2) For pending criminal charges that would score eight or more points in the event of conviction, the board shall postpone its approval or denial decision pending disposition of the matter. If the matter remains unresolved after ninety calendar days, the board will withdraw an application.
(3) Appeal rights. See WAC 314-17-115.
