California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 3 — Professions and Vocations GenerallyChapter 10 — Barbering and CosmetologyArticle 11 — Disciplinary ProceedingsSection 7405
A plea or verdict of guilty or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere is deemed to be a conviction within the meaning of this article. The board may order the license suspended or revoked, or may decline to issue a license, when the time for appeal has elapsed, or the judgment of conviction has been affirmed on appeal or when an order granting probation is made suspending the imposition of sentence, irrespective of a subsequent order under Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code allowing the person to withdraw his or her plea of guilty and to enter a plea of not guilty, or setting aside the verdict of guilty, or dismissing the accusation, information or indictment.
Notes
Allows the board to treat a guilty plea, guilty verdict, or conviction after a nolo contendere plea as a conviction and, after specified finality or probation events, suspend or revoke a license or decline issuance. That authority applies despite a later Penal Code Section 1203.4 order withdrawing a plea, setting aside a verdict, or dismissing the case.
