Which criminal outcome is a ground for discipline under s. 489.129(1)(b)?
Correct Answer
A) Conviction, a finding of guilt, or a plea of nolo contendere, regardless of adjudication
Section 489.129(1)(b) casts it wide on outcome and narrow on subject matter: "Being convicted or found guilty of, or entering a plea of nolo contendere to, regardless of adjudication, a crime in any jurisdiction which directly relates to the practice of contracting or the ability to practice contracting." A withheld adjudication still counts, and so does a conviction from another state — but an arrest alone is not on the list.
