Sec. 2105-207. Records of Department actions.
(a) Any licensee subject to a licensing Act administered by the Division of Professional Regulation and who has been subject to disciplinary action by the Department may file an application with the Department on forms provided by the Department, along with the required fee of $200, to have the records classified as confidential, not for public release and considered expunged for reporting purposes if:
(1) the application is submitted more than 7 years
after the disciplinary offense or offenses occurred;
(2) the licensee has had no incidents of discipline
under the licensing Act since the disciplinary offense or offenses identified in the application occurred;
(3) the Department has no pending investigations
against the licensee; and
(4) the licensee is not currently in a disciplinary
status.
(b) An application to make disciplinary records confidential shall only be considered by the Department for an offense or action relating to:
(1) failure to pay taxes or student loans;
(2) continuing education;
(3) failure to renew a license on time;
(4) failure to obtain or renew a certificate of
registration or ancillary license;
(5) advertising; or
(6) any grounds for discipline removed from the
licensing Act.
(c) An application shall be submitted to and considered by the Director of the Division of Professional Regulation upon submission of an application and the required non-refundable fee. The Department may establish additional requirements by rule. The Department is not required to report the removal of any disciplinary record to any national database. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the Department from using a previous discipline for any regulatory purpose or from releasing records of a previous discipline upon request from law enforcement, or other governmental body as permitted by law. Classification of records as confidential shall result in removal of records of discipline from records kept pursuant to Sections 2105-200 and 2105-205 of this Act.
