MN HF3990

Changes the standard for persons with crime convictions seeking public employment or occupational licenses from mandatory non-disqualification ("shall not") to permissive ("may not be disqualified") when they demonstrate rehabilitation and fitness

Adds honorable military discharge (DD-214) as evidence of rehabilitation that licensing or hiring authorities may consider, alongside existing factors like release orders, time elapsed since release, and completion of probation/parole

Specifies that a DD-214 showing honorable discharge no longer qualifies as rehabilitation evidence if the person is subsequently convicted of any gross misdemeanor or felony after their military separation date

Consolidates rehabilitation evidence factors into a single list that authorities "may consider," including nature and seriousness of the crime, mitigating circumstances, age at time of offense, time elapsed, and letters of reference

Amends notification requirements to clarify that denial notices must inform individuals of the earliest reapplication date and that rehabilitation evidence will be considered upon reapplication
