What does the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing have access to for background screening?

Civil background information
Employment history
Criminal background information
Financial records

The correct answer is: Criminal background information

The Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing relies on criminal background information to ensure the safety and welfare of the public. This type of screening is essential for evaluating the suitability of individuals who are applying for licenses in various trades and professions. The inclusion of criminal background checks helps to uncover any past behavior that could indicate potential risks related to the responsibilities of the license being sought. The division does not typically access civil background information, employment history, or financial records as part of the standard licensing process, which focuses primarily on ensuring that candidates have not engaged in criminal activities that could compromise their ability to perform safely and ethically in their professional roles.
