Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

''moral turpitude''

I would like to apply for a license which sitpulates the following:

494.004 Requirements of licensees.

(1) Each licensee under ss. 494.003-494.0043 shall report, in writing, any conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, regardless of adjudication, any crime or administrative violation that involves fraud, dishonest dealing, or any other act of moral turpitude, in any jurisdiction, by the licensee or any natural person named in s. 494.0031(3), not later than 30 days after the date of conviction, entry of a plea of nolo contendere, or final administrative action.

If I had a case dismissed for petty larceny ($5 of gas)will that be grounds for denial of the application based on the information above? I am nervous that I will be denied because of that, and did not know how ''moral turpitude'' will be interpreted. Thank you.
