Subject Headings:
Occupations and Professions, Physicians and Practitioners, Licensing
(1) Provide a brief summary of:
(a) What this administrative regulation does:
This administrative regulation establishes a process by which an individual who has been convicted of a crime can obtain a determination about whether the crime alone will disqualify the individual from obtaining a professional license before that individual undertakes the time and expense of any training or specialized education to pursue an occupation for which the professional license is required from this agency (i.e. prospective physicians, physician assistants, athletic trainers, surgical assistants, acupuncturists and genetic counselors).
(b) The necessity of this administrative regulation:
At the direction of the General Assembly, it is necessary to promulgate this regulation to establish a process by which an individual who has been convicted of a crime can obtain a determination about whether the crime alone will disqualify the individual from obtaining a professional license before that individual undertakes the time and expense of any training or specialized education to pursue an occupation for which the professional license is required from this agency.
(c) How this administrative regulation conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
This administrative regulation conforms with KRS 335.032, which requires any hiring or licensing authority that considers a criminal background check as part of its application process to establish and implement a process by which an individual who has been convicted of a crime can obtain a determination about whether the crime will disqualify the individual from a position of public employment or an occupation for which a professional license is required from this agency.
(d) How this administrative regulation currently assists or will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
This administrative regulation acts specifically to enact the processes required in KRS 335B.032 so that an individual who has been convicted of a crime can obtain a determination about whether the crime alone will disqualify the individual from obtaining a professional license before that individual undertakes the time and expense of any training or specialized education to pursue an occupation for which the professional license is required from this agency.
(2) If this is an amendment to an existing administrative regulation, provide a brief summary of:
(a) How the amendment will change this existing administrative regulation:
N/A
(b) The necessity of the amendment to this administrative regulation:
N/A

(3) Does this administrative regulation or amendment implement legislation from the previous five years?
Yes. This administrative regulation implements 2026 Kentucky Laws Ch. 72 (HB 185).
(4) List the type and number of individuals, businesses, organizations, or state and local governments affected by this administrative regulation:
This administrative regulation affects individuals who have been convicted of a crime and desire to undertake training or specialized education to pursue an occupation for which a professional license is required from this agency (i.e. prospective physicians, physician assistants, athletic trainers, surgical assistants, acupuncturists and genetic counselors). Because these individuals are not yet licensed by the agency, the number of potentially affected individuals is incalculable.
(5) Provide an analysis of how the entities identified in question (4) will be impacted by either the implementation of this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change, if it is an amendment, including:
(a) List the actions that each of the regulated entities identified in question (4) will have to take to comply with this administrative regulation or amendment:
The individual will need to fill out an application, pay an application fee, provide copies of criminal records and be given an opportunity to appear before and be heard by the agency. If an adverse decision is rendered, the individual will have the benefit of appeal process under KRS Chapter 13B and in circuit court.
(b) In complying with this administrative regulation or amendment, how much will it cost each of the entities identified in question (4):
The agency application fee is $50.00.
(c) As a result of compliance, what benefits will accrue to the entities identified in question (4):
Individuals with a history of a criminal conviction can obtain a binding decision from the agency as to whether this history would disqualify them from practicing the desired profession prior to undertaking the extensive time and expense of any training or specialized education required to pursue the occupation for which a professional license is required.
(6) Provide an estimate of how much it will cost the administrative body to implement this administrative regulation:
(a) Initially:
$50.00 per applicant.
(b) On a continuing basis:
$50.00 per applicant.
(7) What is the source of the funding to be used for the implementation and enforcement of this administrative regulation or this amendment:
The agency is self-funded through application and licensure fees. The application fee applies to implementation, processing and enforcement of the determination process.
(8) Provide an assessment of whether an increase in fees or funding will be necessary to implement this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change if it is an amendment:
A $50.00 application fee will be necessary to apply toward agency costs of implementation, processing and enforcement of the determination process.
(9) State whether or not this administrative regulation establishes any fees or directly or indirectly increases any fees:
A $50.00 application fee will be applied toward implementation, processing and enforcement of the determination process.
(10) TIERING: Is tiering applied?
Tiering was not appropriate in this administrative regulation because the administrative regulation applies equally to all those individuals regulated by it.
