• The department’s current eligibility guidelines (the board’s administrative rules) issued under Occupations Code, Section 53.025;
• Any other state or local restriction or guideline used by the department to determine the eligibility of an individual who has been convicted of an offense; and
• The right to request a criminal history evaluation under Occupations Code Section 53.102.
