1. (1) The Executive Director shall present any properly completed petition to the board’s Compliance Committee at the next Compliance Committee meeting following receipt of the petition.
2. (2) However, if the Executive Director determines that the petition has not been properly completed, he or she shall return the petition to the petitioner at the address provided on the petition with instructions as to any additional information the petitioner needs to supply.

(f) In making its determination on a prelicensure criminal background petition, the board shall address the following three (3) issues:

1. (1) Whether the petitioner’s criminal record, as set forth in the petition, will disqualify the petitioner from licensure under Arkansas Code § 17-3-102;
2. (2) If the petitioner’s criminal record will disqualify the petitioner from licensure, then whether the petitioner could obtain a waiver under Arkansas Code § 17-3-102(b); and
3. (3) Whether the petitioner’s criminal record could result in the denial of an application for licensure or renewal of a license under Arkansas Code § 17-12-601, regardless of whether the petitioner would be disqualified from licensure under Arkansas Code § 17-3-102.
