Hello everyone, my brother-in-law is an experienced insulation worker. he wants to get a residential builders license. can they deny him because of his felony record? does anyone know anything about that? thank you for sharing your thoughts!!
Tell "your brother" to call the Labor and Licensing board in his state. It would have taken you less time...er I mean him less time than you getting a screen name and typing the question.
Had multiple felonies- they were about 4 years old when I applied for my license. Had to provide all the info to dept. of licensing but to answer your question YES they can deny but if hes truthful with them and has his shiz together now he should be good to go.
and I'm sure it depends upon what the felonies where. With the nanny state these days, one would be surprised what's a felony. Shoplifting can be a felony. Remember, a felony is classified as punishable by more than one year in the klink. Misdemeanors are 1 year or less.
Ya if it was fraud he can probably forget it but If it was drug related ( like mine ) or something of that nature he shouldn't have to much to worry about.
Fraud is a civil case with different penalties. Drugs, guns and violence are criminal cases.
Either case is enough to disqualify a person from contracting in California.
thank you guys for your opinions. his was domestic violence a few years ago. Yes I did call the licensing dpt and they said they review each case individually. as for the crime, he really didn't do anything.his gf got drunk & slept with his nephew.he came to her house & caught them in bed.he didn't even touch her, just confronted her.she must have fell down the night befre when she was drunk and she claimed she got bruised because he attacked her. another questions - is it possible to take the residential builders exam without any knowledge & skills in trades?
They look for for things that have to do with money,bankrupt,IRS past due accounts . Everyone gets into trouble . You need to prove that your fair and honest.
At first glance there I was thinking, "Well, now there's a guy that not afraid to let everyone know about his record..... Felon Painting...." :thumbup:
Many who got skeletons in theirs closet, and everyone deserves a second chance or more for some:shutup: :laughing: Have him take the application and fill everything out, there will be a question where he will need to provide the reason, etc. Some states will require additional information and he should be able get his license... then again, decision is based on the circumstances.
Good luck
