(a) Prior to hiring an employment applicant, each nursing home shall request a criminal record check from GCIC to determine whether the applicant has a criminal record. A nursing home shall make a written determination for each applicant for whom a criminal record check is performed. A nursing home shall not employ a person with an unsatisfactory determination.
(b) Any request for a criminal record check under this Code section shall be on a form approved by GCIC and submitted in person, by mail, or by facsimile request to any county sheriff or municipal law enforcement agency having access to GCIC information. The fee shall be no greater than the actual cost of processing the request. The law enforcement agency receiving the request shall perform a criminal record check for a nursing home within a reasonable time but in any event within a period not to exceed three days of receiving the request.
(c) Each application form provided by the employer to the employment applicant shall conspicuously state the following: "FOR THIS TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT, STATE LAW REQUIRES A CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT."
