Such multiple licensing is also not prohibited by § 12-47-1 1 1(2).

Effect of criminal conviction on employment rights Page 1 (1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection (1), the fact that a person has been convicted of a felony or other offense involving moral turpitude shall not, in and of itself, prevent the person from applying for and obtaining public employment or from applying for and receiving a license, certification, permit, or registration re- quired by the laws of this state to follow any business, occupation, or profession. (b) This subsection (1) shall not apply to: (I) The offices and convictions described in section 4 of article XII of the state constitution; (II) The certification and revocation of certification of peace officers as provided in section 24-31-305; (III) The employment of personnel in positions involving direct contact with vulnerable persons as specified in section 27 -90 -III, C.R.S.; (IV) The licensure or authorization of educators prohibited pursuant to section 22-60.5-107(2), (2.5), or (2.6), C.R.S.; (V) The employment of persons in public or private correctional facilities pursuant to the provisions of sections 17-1-109.5 and 17-1-202( I )(a)(I) and (1.5), C.R.S., and the employment of persons in public or private juvenile fa- cilities pursuant to the provisions of sections 19-2-403.3 and 19-2-410(4), C.R.S.; (VI) The employment of persons by the public employees' retirement association created pursuant to section 24-51-201 who, upon the commencement of that employment, will have access to association investment information, association assets, or financial, demographic, or other information relating to association members or beneficiaries; and (VII) The employment of persons by the department of public safety. (2) Whenever any state or local agency is required to make a finding that an applicant for a license, certification, permit, or registration is a person of good moral character as a condition to the issuance thereof, the fact that such applicant has, at some time prior thereto, been convicted of a felony or other offense involving moral turpitude, and pertinent circumstances connected with such conviction, shall be given consideration in determining whether, in fact, the applicant is a person of good moral character at the time of the application. The intent of this section is to expand employment opportunities for persons who, notwithstanding that fact of conviction of an offense, have been rehabil- itated and are ready to accept the responsibilities of a law-abiding and productive member of society.

(b) The agency shall not perform a background check until the agency determines that an applicant is a finalist or makes a conditional offer of employment to the applicant. (c) If, after determining that an applicant is a finalist or after making a conditional offer of employment to an applicant, the agency determines that the applicant has been arrested or charged but not convicted of a criminal offense and the criminal case is not actively pending, the agency shall not use that information as a basis for not making an offer of employment or for withdrawing the conditional offer of employment. (d) If, after determining that an applicant is a finalist or after making a conditional offer of employment to an applicant, the agency determines that the applicant has had a criminal conviction expunged or sealed from his or her record, received a pardon, or that charges were dismissed pursuant to successfully completing a deferred judgment or sen- tence, the agency shall not use that information as a basis for not making an offer of employment or for withdrawing the conditional offer of employment unless, after reviewing the factors in subsection (4) of this section, the agency determines that the applicant should be disqualified for the position. (e) Nothing in this section prevents an agency from considering criminal history information that the applicant vol- untarily provides. (4) If, after determining that an applicant is a finalist or making a conditional offer of employment to an applicant, the agency determines that the applicant has been convicted of a crime, the agency shall consider the following factors when determining whether the conviction disqualifies the applicant for the position: (a) The nature of the conviction; (b) Whether there is a direct relationship between the conviction and the position's duties and responsibilities and the bearing, if any, the conviction may have on the applicant's fitness or ability to perform one or more such duties and responsibilities, including whether the conviction was for unlawful sexual behavior as listed in section 16-22-102(9) C.R.S. and whether the duties of employment would place a co-worker or the public in a vulnerable position; (c) Any information produced by the applicant or produced on his or her behalf regarding his or her rehabilitation and good conduct; and (d) The time that has elapsed since the conviction.

Automobile sales licenses Statute requiring denial of motor vehicle salesperson license to applicant who had twice been convicted of felony theft within the previous ten years did not irreconcilably conflict with ex -offenders' rights under statute providing that criminal conviction "shall not, in and of itself," prevent a person from applying for and receiving a business or pro- fessional license, and thus Motor Vehicle Dealer Board properly relied on former statute in denying license to ap- plicant; statute requiring denial of license was limited to specific felony convictions, and because such convictions served as a basis for delaying but not permanently denying license, the statute did not simply make a criminal con- viction, without more, the basis for denying a license, and the fact that statute requiring denial of license did not expressly cross-reference ex -offenders' rights statute did not mean that statutes conflicted.

Massage parlor licenses In making determination of whether applicants were entitled to massage parlor license, county board of commis- sioners was not restricted to inquiring into prior felony convictions in examining applicants' character, but could also consider evidence of sex acts and nudity in operation of massage parlors by applicants as establishing absence of good moral character. JRM, Inc. v. Board of County Com'rs of Adams County, 1980, 615 P.2d 3 I, 200 Colo. 384. Health C-1150 Statute governing licensing of massage parlors was not unconstitutionally vague for requiring applicant to be satis- factory with respect to "character," "reputation" and "record" where term "character" clearly included applicant's or his employees' propensities toward criminal conduct and criminal record, and term "record" clearly referred to criminal record of applicant or that of his employee when determining the "good character" of the employee.

Physician licenses Prior felony conviction, standing by itself, is not sufficient to warrant denial or revocation of physician's license and pertinent circumstances must be considered to determine moral character of applicant or licensee; thus Board of Medical Examiners properly considered evidence of circumstances which led to conviction of physician, in deter- mining whether license to practice medicine should be revoked.

Press cards Due process rights of applicant for press card were not denied on ground that policy of city's safety manager to deny applications received from ex -offenders created an impermissible presumption against ex -offenders where manager stated that his office did not automatically deny an application received from an ex -offender but, rather, that such an application called for an investigation into applicant's rehabilitation and worthiness to obtain special press privileges.

Brokersc 3 Board of Pharmacy was not precluded from considering pertinent circumstances of applicant's felony crimes in de- termining whether to reinstate his pharmacy license, even though he had demonstrated rehabilitation; requiring mandatory reinstatement of license after applicant's felony conviction and rehabilitation would have led to absurd result of creating an advantage to applicants who were convicted of felony crimes over those who may have com- mitted the same conduct but were either not convicted or were instead convicted of a non -felony offense. Colorado State Bd. of Pharmacy v. Priem, App.2012, 272 P.3d 1136. Health' 224 Notwithstanding applicant's demonstration of rehabilitation following his felony convictions for stealing prescription drugs, substantial evidence supported Board of Pharmacy's decision to deny his application for reinstatement of his pharmacy licensure based on the pertinent circumstances surrounding his prior felony convictions, based on Board's concern that crimes were not unrelated to professional dispensing of prescription drugs; while working as a licensed pharmacist, applicant had stolen large quantities of drugs from employer pharmacies, and sold and gave away some of the drugs to recipients who did not possess prescriptions.

Conduct that is contrary to justice, honesty, or morality. • In the area of legal ethics, offenses involving moral turpitude -- such as fraud or breach of trust — traditionally make a person unfit to practice law. -- Also termed moral depravity. 2. Military Law. Any conduct for which the applicable punishment is a dishonorable discharge or confinement not less than one year. "Moral turpitude means, in general, shameful wickedness — so extreme a departure from ordinary standards of honest, good morals, justice, or ethics as to be shocking to the moral sense of the community. It has also been defined as an act of baseness, vileness, or depravity in the private and social duties which one person owes to another, or to society in general, contrary to the accepted and customary rule of right and duty between people." 50 Am. Jur. 2d Libel and Slander § 165, at 454 (1995). Regulation 47-310. Application • General Provisions. A.

Each application for a new retail license shall contain a report of the local licensing authority of the town, city, county, or city and county, in which the applicant proposes to conduct its business, which report shall shown the opinion of the local licensing authority concerning the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood and the desires of the adult inhabitants with respect to the issuance of the license applied for and the character of a new applicant. B. If the applicant for a license is a partnership, except as between a husband and wife, it shall submit with the application a certificate of co -partnership. C. Upon request of any licensing authority, each applicant for license shall provide suitable additional evidence of its citizenship, residence, and good character and reputation, and also of the reasonable requirements and licensees shall also submit upon request of any licensing authority all required information concerning financial and management associations and interests of other persons in the business, and the deed, lease, contract, or other document governing the terms and conditions of occupancy of the premises licensed or proposed to be licensed. D. All information submitted to any licensing authority, by application for license or otherwise, shall be given fully, faithfully, truthfully and fairly. E. When a licensing authority is required to make a determination as to the character, record and reputation of existing licensees or applicants for new licenses, including transfers of ownership of existing licenses, the authority may consider the following factors, which may include but not be limited to the following: 1. Subject to 24-5-101, C.R.S., the applicant or licensee has knowingly submitted false applications, made willful misrepresentations and/or knowingly committed fraudulent acts; 2. The application or licensee has a criminal history of crimes of moral turpitude. By way of example, crimes of moral turpitude shall include but not be limited to, murder, burglary, robbery, arson, kidnapping, sexual assault, illegal drugs or narcotics convictions; 3. The applicant or licensee has had previous alcohol beverage licenses denied or revoked as a result of violations of law, resulting in a finding of bad moral character by any licensing authority; 4. The applicant or licensee has been found to be currently delinquent in the payment of any state or local taxes, and record of such tax delinquency has been filed in a court having jurisdiction, or has been made a public record by some other lawful means; 5. The applicant or licensee has an established pattern of multiple statutory violations which resulted in the revocation or denial of any other professional license, leading to the finding of bad moral character by any licensing authority. F. Pursuant to 24-5-101, C.RS., when making a determination as to the character, record or reputation of a licensee or applicant as required by Title 12, Article 46, 47 and 48, the licensing authority shall also consider evidence of rehabilitation. Such evidence may include, but not be limited to, evidence of no criminal history record information, educational achievements, financial solvency, community standing, lack of additional arrests or convictions, or the lack of parole or probation violations since the date of last conviction.
