However, keep in mind that most BONs will tell you that they won't give a definite answer until you actually apply, because they review applicants with a criminal history on a case-by-case basis. They will probably let you know what documentation you will need to submit when you apply.

criminal background clearance:prohibitive offenses contained in act 14 of 1997
Sexual assault, prostitution, even library theft are on the list.
