Wisconsin Fair Employment Act Disclaimer

The Fair Employment Act (Wisconsin Statute 111.31 and Wisconsin Statute 111.395) generally prohibits discrimination based on a conviction of record unless the circumstances of the conviction substantially relate to the circumstances of a particular job or licensed activity. Therefore, the circumstances of your conviction will be evaluated to determine whether they substantially relate, or do not relate, to the circumstances of the profession for which you are licensed. Should any action be taken against your license, said action would be taken in compliance with the procedural requirements of Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapters SPS 2, 6, or 8.
