Under IC 4-22-2-23, the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana intends to adopt a rule concerning the following:

OVERVIEW: Adds a new rule concerning convictions of concern. This rule implements the provisions of IC 25-1-1.1-6 requiring every board, commission, or committee under IC 25 to revise its licensing or certification requirements to explicitly list the convictions of concern that may disqualify an individual from receiving a license; to establish criteria to determine whether an applicant should be denied a license if the applicant has a conviction of concern; and to establish a procedure for an individual to receive a pre-application determination as to whether the individual's criminal history would preclude the individual from obtaining a license. This rule will apply to the following license types: physician assistants, hearing aid dealers, occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants, respiratory care practitioners, acupuncturists, genetic counselors, anesthesiologist assistants, certified direct entry midwives, diabetes educators, dietitians, physicians and osteopathic physicians, and all other licenses issued under IC 25-22.5.
