Can a NY PI license be issued to a person convicted of a felony?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if pardoned

  4. Only after 10 years post-conviction

The correct answer is: No

A person cannot be issued a NY PI license if they have been convicted of a felony. This is because having a felony conviction can disqualify a person from obtaining a PI license. Option A is incorrect because a person with a felony conviction cannot be issued a PI license. Option C is incorrect because a pardon does not automatically guarantee a person's eligibility for a PI license as each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Option D is incorrect because the required time period for eligibility is determined by the type of felony conviction and can be longer than 10 years. Therefore, the best answer is B.
