 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                      DATED: JULY 23, 2020

   The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 2612.
   This bill allows an applicable entity, defined in the bill as “a
board, committee, or any State body that issues a credential for a
profession or occupation,” to issue a limited license if an individual
with a criminal conviction successfully completes training offered
by a county correctional facility or the Department of Corrections
that is necessary in order to practice a specific profession or
occupation. The applicable entity is to establish the period of time
an individual can work under the limited license and place
conditions on the license. An individual seeking a limited license
can show their fitness for this license by submitting evidence to the
applicable entity that demonstrates successful completion of
training, a record of good behavior while incarcerated, and no
violations of parole or probation. Letters of recommendation can
also be submitted by an appropriate official demonstrating that the
individual is committed to living a law-abiding life.
   Conditions are to be set by the applicable entity to limit the
scope and location of an individual’s practice, to assign a supervisor
to the individual at the place of employment, and to require the
individual with the limited license to notify the entity if there is a
change of supervisors. The applicable entity can also impose
additional conditions. A limited license is to be revoked if the
individual with such license 1) is convicted of a crime of the first,
second, third, or fourth degree, or a disorderly persons offense in
New Jersey, or a similar offense in another jurisdiction, or 2) fails
to comply with the conditions placed on a limited license.
   Within 30 days of the expiration of a limited license, the
supervisor of the individual with the limited license is to provide
written notice to the applicable entity that issued the limited license
addressing if the individual complied with all conditions of the
license. The applicable entity is to issue an unrestricted license if
the individual complied with the conditions of the limited license
for the length of the license and meets all of the other qualifications
for licensure under the applicable practice act of the profession or
occupation.
