MRDP Risk Management Policy on Registration of Felons
MRDP reserves the right to refuse registration in any capacity to anyone convicted of a felony anywhere in the United States. While this policy in principle has been in force for many years, current risk management realities have now required this to be in writing and published. The State Referee Committee has voted unanimously to re-affirm this policy as of January 4, 2021.
