he wouldn't have gotten a conditional license if something came up on the background check. a conditional license is basically the same thing as the official one, you can do the same thing with it. it just means that you haven't completed all your statutory college level courses. you can take 1 course (principals) then take the state exam. if you pass you get the conditional, and within a year and half you have to complete the other 2 classes or else they suspend your license. starting october there will be no more conditional license, and you have to complete all 3 courses before you get your L's.
