Licensing boards taking action against a license or application when a licensee or applicant is convicted of certain theft or fraud offenses requirement provision

This bill requires Minnesota licensing boards to automatically suspend or revoke a license, or refuse license renewal, when a licensed professional or applicant is convicted of specific theft or fraud offenses. It directly affects individuals holding state-licensed professions (like healthcare, finance, or trades) who face convictions under listed statutes, including fraud (e.g., 609.23, 609.52) or theft (e.g., 609.2231, 609.496). The key provision mandates that boards take this action without discretion upon a court conviction for any of the 14 specified offenses. The law applies to all licensed professionals covered under Minnesota Statutes 214.10, effective immediately after enactment.
