Idaho-Employment-Licensing

Idaho has no law generally regulating consideration of criminal record in employment. A pardon relieves employment disabilities imposed by state law or administrative regulation.  As of 2020, licensing agencies must determine whether a person’s criminal record is “currently relevant to the applicant’s fitness” to engage in the occupation by a multi-factor test, and vague terms like “moral character” are prohibited. Individuals may apply for a non-binding preliminary determination.
