QUESTION
I had an Underage Consumption charge dismissed and expunged in 2011. Can I legally deny this charge when undergoing an Alcohol and Drug Assessment?
Asked on Feb 24th, 2016 on Expungements - Tennessee
More details to this question:
After the charge in 2011, I was arrested in 2013 for DUI and subsequently convicted of reckless driving. Due to this second incident, there is a possibility that I will have to undergo an Alcohol and Drug assessment in order to obtain my license to practice occupational therapy in TN. I just wanted to know whether or not I am legally required to disclose the expunged Underage Consumption during such an assessment if asked about prior alcohol/drug criminal charges.

Normally, if you are asked about prior convictions, you are not legally required to disclose the expunged underage consumption. However, if I were you I would contact the board (anonymously) that licenses occupational therapists and pose the question to the board.
