(b) The Board of Teaching or Board of School
Administrators, whichever has jurisdiction over a teacher's licensure, shall
refuse to issue, refuse to renew, or automatically revoke a teacher's license
to teach without the right to a hearing upon receiving a certified copy of a
conviction showing that the teacher has been convicted of child abuse, as
defined in section 609.185, sex trafficking in the first degree under

(c) A person whose license to teach has been revoked, not issued, or not renewed under paragraph (b), may petition the board to reconsider the licensing action if the person's conviction for child abuse or sexual abuse is reversed by a final decision of the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court or if the person has received a pardon for the offense. The petitioner shall attach a certified copy of the appellate court's final decision or the pardon to the petition. Upon receiving the petition and its attachment, the board shall schedule and hold a disciplinary hearing on the matter under section 214.10, subdivision 2, unless the petitioner waives the right to a hearing.

If the board finds that the petitioner is not disqualified from teaching under paragraph (a), clause (1), it shall reverse its previous licensing action.
