Can an arrest that was reported to the board be viewed on your profile?

• A. Yes, it will always appear
• B. No, unless it is part of a disciplinary action
• C. Yes, if it was reported to the board
• D. Only after a court ruling

Answer: (B)

Public profiles used by the board show actions that affect a licensee’s ability to practice—disciplinary steps like investigations that lead to sanctions, suspensions, probation, or revocation. An arrest filed with or reported to the board is a criminal event, not automatically a disciplinary sanction. It won’t appear on the profile unless the board takes disciplinary action tied to that arrest. A court ruling alone doesn’t determine what’s displayed; the board’s own disciplinary actions do. So the arrest is not viewable on the profile unless it results in a disciplinary action.
