(1) Is at least 18 years of age.

(3) records of arrest not followed by a charge or 
 
conviction;
 
 
(4) records of arrest in which the charges were 
 
dismissed unless related to the practice of the profession; however, applicants shall not be asked to report any arrests, and an arrest not followed by a conviction shall not be the basis of a denial and may be used only to assess an applicant's rehabilitation;
 
 
(5) convictions overturned by a higher court; or
 
 
(6) convictions or arrests that have been sealed or 
 
expunged.
