Broader record checks for foster parents, staff

Georgia's Department of Human Services can access restricted criminal histories and sealed court files for oversight and eligibility checks. Checks cover current and prospective foster parents, adults in their homes, and current and prospective department employees and contractors. Access is limited to purposes authorized by Georgia's human services laws and applicable rules, regulations, or policies. This expands agency access to sensitive personal records, while general limits on sharing records with private people and businesses remain.
