Will I be disqualified if there are pending criminal charges on my background check?

(1) The department will not license, contract, certify, or authorize a person to have unsupervised access to children who have a criminal charge pending for a disqualifying crime described in the adoption and safe families act of 1997, or a criminal charge pending for a disqualifying crime that relates directly to child safety, permanence, or well-being.
(2) You may reapply for a license, contract, certification, or approval to have unsupervised access to children by providing proof to the department that the charge against you has been dropped or that you were acquitted.
