[Malum Prohibitum]

[Malum Prohibitum]

The law is again different from when that letter was put together. HB 1032 changed OCGA 16-11-129 to make it very clear in (d)(2) that it is the local law enforcement agency that runs a computer check (National Instant Criminal Background Check) and returns a report to the probate court. The "no report shall be required" language was left in the statute. The "Instant" part of National Instant Criminal Background Check should provide a clue as to how long this takes.

Read HB 1032 for yourself by visiting the Georgia General Assembly web site and entering HB 1032 in the upper right hand corner.

Any delay now, after July 1, 2006, is just flat out stalling tactic.

I took this one off sticky, as I think it has lost its value.
