Sec. 602.1207. - Disclosure of criminal records required.

A person, when applying for or when appointed to a City position, with or without compensation, shall be required to disclose to the appointing or hiring authority any criminal conviction and record thereof, with the exception of crimes that are classified or, if not committed in Florida, would be classified if committed in Florida, as misdemeanors of the second degree. Disclosures shall be made in writing and failure to disclose shall result in automatic removal or dismissal from the position, subject to the rules and regulations of the civil service system where applicable. If, at any time after the person is appointed to a City position, there is an allegation that the disclosure required by this Section is false or incomplete, the matter shall be submitted to the appointing or hiring authority for determination. If, after proper notice and hearing the cognizant authority determines that the disclosure is correct, no action shall be taken; but if, after proper notice and hearing, the cognizant authority determines that the disclosure is incorrect, the person submitting the same shall be deemed to have failed to make any disclosure.
