O.C.G.A. § 31-7-255 (2019)

After receiving a GCIC notification regarding a director’s fingerprint records check under Code Section 31-7-254, 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 fingerprint records check determination was satisfactory as to the director of the facility, that applicant may be issued a regular license for that facility. If the fingerprint records check determination was unsatisfactory as to the director of the 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 31-7-252 through 31-7-254 and this Code section to obtain a preliminary records check and fingerprint records check determination for the newly designated director. The applicant may not be issued a regular license for that facility until the director has a satisfactory fingerprint records check determination.
