I do not believe a past misdemeanor or felony conviction received prior to becoming an AOSE should have anything to do with becoming a licensed AOSE under DPOR. So, if someone received one of those convictions 20 years ago and has been an AOSE in good standing for 10 years then according to your requirements that person no longer has a job. I think it should be changed to if you receive a felony conviction after becoming licensed then you may lose your license. I would hate to think of AOSE's around the state losing their livelyhood because of something they did YEARS ago. If you're trying to weed out bad apples you should look at complaints filed against them as AOSE's.
