Rights of Relief from Disabilities
as provided and summarized on the reverse of the DPCA-53 Certificate of Relief from Disabilities form.
Where the certificate is issued by a court at the time sentence is pronounced, it covers forfeitures as well as disabilities. In any other case the
certificate applies to disabilities.
A conviction of the crime or offense specified on the face of the certificate shall not cause automatic forfeiture of any license, permit,
employment or franchise, including the right to register for or vote at an election, or automatic forfeiture of any other right or privilege, held
by an eligible offender and covered by the certificate. Nor shall such conviction be deemed to be a conviction within the meaning of any
provision of law that imposes, by reason of a conviction, a bar to any employment, a disability to exercise any right or a disability to apply
for or receive any license, permit or other authority or privilege, covered by the certificate. Provided, however, that no such certificate shall
apply, or be construed so as to apply, to the right of such person to retain or to be eligible for public office.
A conviction of the crime or the offense specified on the face of the certificate shall not prevent any judicial, administrative, licensing or
other body, board or authority from relying upon the conviction specified on the certificate as the basis for the exercise of its discretionary
power to suspend, revoke, refuse to issue or renew any license, permit or other authority or privilege.
