K.A.R. 69-15-31 Identifies and defines any potentially disqualifying civil and criminal records that may disqualify an applicant from receiving a body art practitioner license and provides for an advisory opinion prior to application for licensure to state if there is a disqualifying civil or criminal record that would disqualify such applicant from licensure.
