Hello, I have a question that I was hoping you might be able to answer for me. I live in Arizona and on July 30, 2011 given that I have successfully completed my probation, my class 6 felony (disorderly conduct-domestic) will go in front of a judge and be reduced to a misdemeanor (can't remember which level) and my civil rights will be restored (aside from gun rights, that requires another process/form to fill out). I've been looking into multiple career fields, and have come across some "stipulations" that I am unsure of whether or not they will apply to me after my rights have been restored and my felony has been reduced to the misdemeanor.
"Pursuant to A.R.S. § 32-1606(B)(16), each applicant for initial licensure as a Nursing Assistant is required to submit a full set of fingerprints. According to A.R.S. § 32-1646(B), an applicant for nursing assistant certification is not eligible for certification if the applicant has any felony convictions and has not received an absolute discharge from the sentences for all felony convictions. The absolute discharge from the sentence for all felony conviction(s) must be received 5 or more years before submitting this application. If you cannot prove that the absolute discharge date is 5 or more years, the Board will notify you that you do not meet the requirements for certification."
Will the above quotation apply to me after my charge is dropped to a misdemeanor? If it does apply to me, does that mean I will not be able to participate in a program such as the one quoted until 2016?
Thank you for the help. I'm sorry if this belongs in another section, I wasn't sure which area would be better to post this in!
