O.C.G.A. § 49-5-69 (2019)

(a) Before a person may become an employee other than a director of any center after that center has received a license, that center shall require that person to obtain a satisfactory preliminary records check. The center shall maintain documentation in the employee’s personnel file, which is available to the department upon request, which reflects that a satisfactory preliminary criminal records check was received before the employee began working with children. If the preliminary records check for any potential employee other than the director reveals a criminal record of any kind, such potential employee shall not be allowed to begin working until either such potential employee has obtained satisfactory state and national fingerprint records check determinations or has had the unsatisfactory preliminary or fingerprint records check determination reversed in accordance with Code Section
