I am trying to obtain a CPL in the state of Michigan

Here's the problem. A couple years ago I acted like an idiot and got arrested for petty shoplifting, aka 3rd degree retail fraud.

In the MSP's plain english list of disqualifying offenses, only 2nd degree is listed, as a 3-year disqualifier, but the corresponding MCL code includes 3rd degree as a subsection. (subsection 4)

I'm not too sure if I am disqualified due to this. If I am, it would appear that the inclusion of 3rd degree was unintentional, resulting from it being lumped in as a subsection rather than being separated by its own MCL code. Only 2nd degree appears to be an intentional disqualifier.

If this is the case, is there any way to appeal this, and either get the rules revised to remove 3rd degree from the list, or maybe give it some sort of exemption? How do I handle this?
