Any applicant whom the BCU concludes may be an unreasonable risk, as identified in Subsection A (1) of 8.8.3.13 NMAC, may submit to the BCU a rehabilitation petition describing with specificity all information that tends to demonstrate that the applicant is not an unreasonable risk. The petition may include a description of what actions the applicant has taken subsequent to any events revealed by the background check to reduce the risk that the same or a similar circumstance will recur. The BCU may consider the age of the applicant at conviction, time since conviction, and participation and completion in mitigating programs, treatment, and education.
