Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) Any applicant for licensure who is filing
			 the application on behalf of a firm, association, company, partnership, or
			 corporation shall be an appropriately qualified designee as defined in O.C.G.A
			 §
								43-38-6(a).
			 Said officer or member shall be directly responsible for all operations and
			 must be registered with the Board.
(2) At any time after the receipt by the
			 Board of all documents and fees required by law or by these rules, and after
			 being satisfied that the applicant has the qualifications set forth by law, and
			 has received the minimum training required by rule, the Board may issue a
			 license or registration card, provided that criminal background and fingerprint
			 results have been received. Should any statement appearing in the application
			 or any other form submitted to the Board by the applicant be demonstrated to be
			 untrue or false, the Board will then, at its earliest opportunity, take
			 appropriate action against the applicant.
(3) Upon death, resignation or termination of
			 the license holder of the company, the company's chief officer or registered
			 agent on behalf of the company as filed with the Secretary of State's Office
			 shall notify the Board within 10 (ten) business days of the absence of the
			 license holder. A new license must be obtained immediately if the company is to
			 continue advertising and/or operating in the State of Georgia.
(4) Upon death, resignation or termination of
			 an employee who is licensed or registered with the board, the licensee
			 (employer) shall notify the Board within thirty (30) days of the absence of the
			 licensed or registered employee and shall mail the employee's license or
			 registration and any weapon permits to the office of the Division
			 Director.
(5) If a licensed or
			 registered employee leaves a licensed company to become employed with another
			 licensed company, the new employer must submit a new application and
			 appropriate fee to the Board on behalf of the employee. The Board may, at its
			 discretion, issue to such applicant the new license or registration with a
			 weapon permit prior to receiving the results of the background investigations,
			 so long as the licensed company and the applicant's current licenses or
			 registrations are in good standing.
(6) When any registrant or licensee is
			 employed by more than one agency simultaneously, each employer must complete
			 application for registration or licensure on behalf of the employee. Each
			 application must be accompanied by the appropriate fee. Refer to the fee
			 schedule for fee. The board may issue the registration or license with weapon
			 permit to such registrant or licensee before receiving the results of the
			 criminal background check, so long as the agency is licensed and the
			 applicant's license or registration is current.
