(2) Any individual whose academy enrollment was terminated for academic failure, skills deficiency, disciplinary reasons other than those specified in subsection (3) of this section, or who had voluntarily withdrawn for any reason, may be readmitted to a subsequent academy session only if the individual meets all the academy admission requirements and their current employing agency head, or their designee, submits a new registration for admission into the academy.

(3) Any person who was dismissed from an academy for a major violation including, but not limited to: Cheating, the making of materially false or misleading statements, harassment, discrimination, the commission of a misdemeanor or felony, regardless of conviction, or other misconduct contained in RCW 43.101.105 will be ineligible for readmission to any subsequent academy within 60 months from the date of dismissal regardless of employer or employment status.

(4) After the ineligibility period specified in subsection (3) of this section has passed, an agency head, or their designee, must make a written request for readmission, which requires the submission of an application to the executive director that includes:

(a) The name of the individual who was dismissed, the date and reason for the dismissal, and the reason for the request for readmission; and

(b) A statement from the individual who was previously dismissed describing any relevant or professional growth since the dismissal.

(5) If the executive director, or designee, conditionally grants the application, the individual's agency must submit the full results of the individual's completed background check, psychological examination, and polygraph examination to the commission staff responsible for the certification investigations.

(6) After the conditional granting of the application and review of the full background, psychological examination and polygraph examination, the executive director, or designee, will issue a decision on the request in writing and the reasons for the decision, if denied.

(7) Where a request for readmission to the academy is denied, a second request may only be submitted 24 months after the denial. If a second request is denied, no further requests may be filed regardless of the individual's employer or employment status.
