Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Summary Offense

I plead guilty to a Disorderly Conduct offense two years ago in PA? Recently, Ive been thinking of applying for a State Government job in Pa. Will it show up on their criminal background check?

On their application they ask if you have ever been convicted of asummary, felony, or misd.
