From the transcript
Section 3.10.030, subsection A2, states that a person shall be denied a chauffeur's license if convicted of a qualified felony offense against a person under Alaska Statute 11.030. 1.41. Unlike other provisions in this section, there is no 3 or 5 year limitation attached to this disqualification. The ordinance also establishes separate good moral character requirement. While, uh, previous licensing and evidence of rehabilitation may be relevant to that consideration, I do not see anything in the ordinance allowing those considerations to override a mandatory ground for denial.
