§ 20-1A-35. Provisional Employees; Receipt of Satisfactory Determination; Revocation of License, Commission, or Permit for Violations

History. Code 1981, § 20-1A-35 , enacted by Ga. L. 2004, p. 645, § 1; Ga. L. 2013, p. 285, § 2/HB 350; Ga. L. 2015, p. 965, § 2/HB 401; Ga. L. 2018, p. 1101, § 7/HB 494.
The 2015 amendment, effective January 1, 2016, substituted the present provisions of this Code section for the former provisions, which read: “Where there is need for a provisional employee to work at a center’s facility, such center may utilize an individual as a provisional employee only after the director reviews a preliminary records check and makes a satisfactory determination in accordance with this article. No such provisional employee shall be present in the facility while any child is present for care until such satisfactory preliminary records check determination has been made based upon GCIC information obtained from local law enforcement within the prior ten days. The board shall be authorized to define and enforce by regulations, including, but not limited to, the length of time a provisional employee may be present at a facility without a fingerprint records check determination. The department may revoke the license of a center if the center fails to comply with the requirements of this Code section and employs a person with an unsatisfactory preliminary records check determination.”
The 2018 amendment, effective July 1, 2018, rewrote subsection (a); and, in subsection (b), substituted “employee to be present at a facility” for “employee to reside at an early care and education program or be present at an early care and education program” in the middle and inserted “or to reside at a facility” near the end.
