If I successfully obtained a dismissal under prop. 36 or penal code section 1000, do i ever have to disclose the underlying conviction?

In certain situations. In general, once you have a dismissal under Penal Code section 1000 or Prop 36, you are not required to disclose the underlying conviction. However, the Penal Code does list exceptions to this general rule. You are required to disclose that you were convicted of a crime (even after dismissal) under the following circumstances:

    When applying for a job in public office OR as a police officer;
    When applying for a professional license through a state or local agency;
    When contracting with the California Lottery;
    When you are impaneled to serve on a jury.[3012]
