Do I need to notify my licensing board if I was recently arrested or convicted for a misdemeanor?

You will typically be required to make a disclosure to your licensing board regarding an arrest or conviction, however when such a disclosure is made is dependent upon the statutes and regulations governing your licensing board.  You may be required to report the arrest/conviction to your licensing board within a certain period or time or may be able to make the disclosure at the time of your next license/registration/certification renewal.  Failure to make a timely disclosure can result in a licensing board initiating formal disciplinary action.
