Mandi,
 
The circumstances of his misdemeanor would determine his eligibility for licensure.  I am the chair of the OT board in Washington State.  If his misdemeanor was a crime against a person or related to fraud, we would take a close look before issueing a license.  If it were related to other types of crime such as traffic, property, or other non-violent act we would likely issue a license pending review and disclosure.  Again, it depends on the type and severity of the misdemeanor.
