Sec. 9. (1) A certificate of qualification for employment lifts the10
automatic bar of a collateral sanction, and a decisionmaker shall11
determine on a case-by-case basis whether to grant or deny the issuance12

occupational license or whether to hire an individual for employment. In14
making such determination, the decisionmaker shall not reconsider or15
reject any finding made by the court in granting the petition.16
(2) The certificate constitutes a rebuttable presumption that any17
criminal conviction that is the subject of the certificate is not18
sufficient evidence that the individual is unfit for employment or any19
government certification, registration, or occupational license. This20
presumption may be rebutted if the decisionmaker determines, on an21
individualized basis, that the individual is unfit.22
(3) For an individual with a certificate, a decisionmaker shall23
treat a mandatory collateral sanction as a discretionary collateral24
sanction. 25
Sec. 10. (1) In a judicial or administrative proceeding alleging26

registration, or an occupational license to the individual holding the1
certificate; or 2
(b) Hiring, retaining, leasing to, admitting to a school or program,3
or otherwise transacting business or engaging in activity with such4
individual. 5
(2) In any civil action against an employer for negligent hiring of6
the individual holding a certificate of qualification for employment,7
such certificate shall provide immunity for the employer as to the8
negligent hiring claim if the employer knew of the certificate at the9
time of the alleged negligence. 10
(3) In a civil action against an employer alleging negligence in11
retaining the employment of an individual holding a certificate of12
qualification for employment who, subsequent to being hired, demonstrates13
dangerousness or is convicted of a felony, the employer shall be immune14
as to such negligent retention claim unless it is proved by a15
preponderance of the evidence that: 16
(a) The person with responsibility for retaining such individual or17
terminating such individual's employment had actual knowledge of such18
demonstration of dangerousness or conviction; and 19
(b) Such person willfully retained or failed to terminate the20
employment of such individual. 21
Sec. 11. (1) A certificate of qualification for employment shall be22
revoked if the individual holding the certificate is convicted of a23
felony. The certificate shall only be revoked upon such conviction24
becoming final. 25
(2) The Office of Probation Administration shall periodically review26
the certificates listed in the database described in section 12 of this27
act to identify certificates that are subject to revocation under this28
section. Upon identifying a certificate of qualification for employment29

the certificate has been revoked, the reason for revocation, and the31

such certificate has been revoked. Notification shall be given in a form2
and manner prescribed by the office. 3
Sec. 12. The Office of Probation Administration shall maintain a4
database to track certificates of qualification for employment that have5
been granted and revoked. Such database shall also track information6
regarding the industries, occupations, and professions for which7
certificates are used. The office shall annually create a report that8
summarizes the information maintained in the database and shall publish9
such report on its public Internet website no later than December 31 of10
each year. 11
Sec. 13. A certificate of qualification for employment shall not:12
(1) Preclude use of the conviction as evidence of commission of the13
offense for purposes of determining whether an application filed or a14
license issued under sections 71-1901 to 71-1906.01, the Child Care15
