Final Order — Loan Originator
The Florida Office of Financial Regulation denied Jason Halstead's application for a mortgage loan originator license due to his criminal history involving a 1998 felony aggravated assault and a 2014 misdemeanor petit theft. Under state regulations, these convictions impose a mandatory 20-year disqualification period calculated from the most recent disposition date in 2014, which is reduced to 19 years after applying a one-year mitigation for character references. Consequently, the petitioner remains ineligible for licensure until 2033, as the Hearing Officer found no legal discretion to approve the application despite evidence of good moral character.
