Section 49-5-65. Determination on the basis of fingerprint records check; revocation of license

   After receiving a Federal Bureau of Investigation report regarding a national fingerprint records check under Code Section 49-5-64, the department shall make a determination based thereon and notify in writing the license applicant as to whether that records check was satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If the national fingerprint records check determination was unsatisfactory as to the director of an applicant's facility, after receiving notification of that determination, that applicant shall designate another director for such facility for which director the applicant has not received or made an unsatisfactory preliminary or fingerprint records check determination and proceed under the requirements of Code Sections 49-5-62 through 49-5-64 and this Code section to obtain state and national fingerprint records check determinations for the newly designated director. The director may begin working upon the receipt of a satisfactory state fingerprint records check determination pending the receipt of the national fingerprint records check determination from the department. The department may revoke the license of that facility if the facility fails to comply with the requirements of this Code section and Code Section 49-5-63 to receive satisfactory state and national fingerprint determinations on the director or to comply with Code Section 49-5-63 regarding employees other than the director.
