I am hoping someone here can help answer this question for me. I am wondering what needs to be disclosed for background checks not only for the fingerprint card but also for the BON? Here's my situation, I was ticketed for underage cigarette smoking when I was about 13 years old. I didn't go to a regular court, but I did go before someone (judge?) who ordered me to take a smoking-cessation class and then it was expunged from my record (at least, this is what I remember). Obviously since I was underage, the record would be sealed as well, or I assume it would be. I'm not sure if this is considered a misdemeanor? It was so long ago and I have no idea if it is something that would show up on a background check or if I should even disclose it on the fingerprint clearance app as well as the BON app once I get through school. My memory of the details of this event are so foggy because it was a very long time ago, is there somewhere I can check myself to see if it shows up when someone runs me? I don't mind disclosing it but I also don't want to unnecessarily raise red flags with the BON by bringing up something that wont be showing up when they check me anyways. Thanks for any help.
