The Following items were discussed:

 

a)     The review and discussion of 59-1800.13, Para B, Sub-Section 2 was conducted by the Legal Department. of  the

Department of Health ( the applicant licensee has committed any offense resulting in the applicant’s conviction of a felony

or crime involving moral turpitude.  Provided, however, if the applicant has had no felony conviction within the last ten

(10) years prior to making application for a license and said applicant has shown the committee that the applicant has been

rehabilitated, the committee may recommend said applicant be issued a license.)

 

This Discussion was in 2 parts:

Part 1: This applies equally to all applications for Licensure after the grandfather period ended.  ( Jan 1, 2007 – April. 2, 2007)

If anyone is convicted of a felony within10 years prior to applying for a license, his application will be denied by the Department of

Health and not go forward to the Advisory Board.  If the felony conviction occurred more than 10 years prior to application, it will

be reviewed by the Advisory Board and may or may not be approved for Licensure.

 

Part 2: This only applies to applicants who have never held a license from the O.S.D.H. and made application during the grandfather

period. (Jan 1, 2007Apr. 2, 2007).  This only applies to the Locksmith, CCTV, Access Control, and Nurse Call categories.  It does

not apply to the Alarm, Fire, and Burglary categories.

 

b) The Advisory Board will begin reviewing all applications with Felony issues as outlined above, at the next monthly meeting (May 7th, 2008)

 

c) A marking tag to indicate a unit is the process of repair but can’t be completed immediately (waiting parts, etc.) (so the inspection

personnel know a problem is being addressed) was discussed and will be added to the appendix in July 2008.

 

d) CIB Board is moving forward with the rules for SB45.

 

e) A request was made to the Advisory Board to acquire from the Tax Commission, a SIC code and a “by name” list specifically stating

exactly who SB45 CCR2 applies to. 

 

f) O.S.D.H. will start sending follow-up letters to every applicant for which additional information has been requested and not yet received.

If you have not received your license, you either have a felony or you haven’t sent the additional information as requested.  Time to get this

information in is growing short.

 

If  additional info has been requested and you don’t send it in so your license can be issued, at renewal time July 1st, 2008, there will be no

renewal and you could be risking forfeiture of your license and permission by the State to conduct business pending initial license issue.

 

4) Next meeting Date May 7, 2008
