    I received a SIS 15 years ago and received five years bench probation. I successfully completed the probation and have no arrests or convictions since the one and only one.

    Do I have to report a SIS as a conviction on a job application?
    Does a SIS become a closed record?

    Well, you were very fortunate.

    A "SIS" is a suspended imposition of sentence.

    Your SIS was NOT a conviction, rather it was your admission of guilt, allowing you to receive a deferred sort of sentence.

    As long as you completed the terms of your sentence successfully, the SIS should absolve you from any criminal wrongdoing.

    It should NOT show as a criminal conviction.

    If someone runs a record check on you, the SIS you received should NOT be disclosed as a criminal conviction.

    You had a great lawyer.

    As a SIS is not treated like a criminal conviction, you should not be forced to disclose it on a job application.

    Go forth, and sin no more!
