After CA Record Clearance disclose violation?

[regal_legal]

What is the name of your state? California
I was granted a Record Clearance pursuant to Section 1203.4 PC for the violation of Section 10980(C)(2) WI. It was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor. I was put on informal probation of 120 hours. I am currently applying for employment and would like to know if I am still required by law to disclose the violation on applications? From what I have read, I am required for government positions. If it shows up on a background check as dismissed, what good would it do to not disclose it? Is it better for me to inform a potential employer on the application of the dismissal? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

from PC1203.4:

However, in any subsequent prosecution of the defendant for any other
offense, the prior conviction may be pleaded and proved and shall
have the same effect as if probation had not been granted or the
accusation or information dismissed. The order shall state, and the
probationer shall be informed, that the order does not relieve him or
her of the obligation to disclose the conviction in response to any
direct question contained in any questionnaire or application for
public office, for licensure by any state or local agency, or for
contracting with the California State Lottery. Dismissal of an accusation or information pursuant to this section
does not permit a person to own, possess, or have in his or her
custody or control any firearm or prevent his or her conviction under
Section 12021.
