Prior Criminal Convictions


            Generally, a board cannot refuse to issue a license to a person solely based on the fact that the person has prior criminal convictions. However, the prior conviction cannot directly relate to the profession or occupation for which the person wants authorization to practice. This does not mean that the prior conviction will be irrelevant. A board may still refuse authorization to practice by considering all available information and concluding that the applicant is unfit or unsuited to engage in the profession or occupation. S.C. Code Ann. Section 40-1-140.
