Book excerpt: Amendments to the Nurse Practice Act stating that no license shall be granted to a certain class of felons apply only to applicants for new licenses after the effective date of the amendment.

This limit on licensure is a rational exercise of the state's police power and is not prohibited by the ex post facto clause of the United States Constitution.
