4. Restricted license in one state, considering moving to another after probation

   mullen831 replied to mullen831's topic in Recovery

   Unfortunately, Ohio does not do that. Once you have been disciplined, then it appears for LIFE. I actually just had a job offer rescinded today because of my past discipline. I need to disclose my prior discipline because it is searchable via BON ...

    mullen831 replied to melanieb's topic in Recovery

    May I ask what states are not requiring you to do monitoring?? I'm in OH and about 6 months away from the end but want to move so badly after finishing this madness. I can't and will not do this over again.
