SUBCHAPTER FBACKGROUND CHECKS
DIVISION 8ADMINISTRATOR'S LICENSING
RULE §745.775How may a criminal conviction or a child abuse or neglect finding affect my ability to receive or maintain an administrator's license?

(a) You must meet the background check requirements that are part of the administrator's licensing process in Subchapter N of this chapter (relating to Administrator's Licensing).

(b) In addition to complying with the criminal conviction requirements specified in §745.661(a)(1) of this subchapter (relating to What types of criminal convictions may affect a subject's ability to be present at an operation?), you are also monitored for offenses related to financial crimes, including all Title 7 Offenses Against Property, Title 8 Offenses Against Administration, and Title 11 Organized Crime offenses in the Penal Code.

(c) You may not receive or maintain an administrator's license if you:

  (1) Have a criminal conviction as specified in §745.661(a)(1) of this subchapter or a child abuse or neglect finding as specified in §745.671 of this subchapter (relating to What types of findings from the Central Registry or out-of-state child abuse and neglect registries may affect a subject's ability to be present at an operation?) that would bar you from being present at an operation;

  (2) Are on a sex offender registry; or

  (3) Have a felony conviction of a financial crime, as specified in subsection (b) of this section, within the past 10 years.

(d) You may receive and maintain an administrator's license if you have a felony conviction of a financial crime older than 10 years or a misdemeanor conviction of a financial crime. However, these crimes do require a risk evaluation and Licensing may place restrictions on your license. You must have an approved risk evaluation before you may be present at an operation.

(e) You may receive and maintain an administrator's license if you have a criminal conviction or a child abuse or neglect finding that only requires a risk evaluation. However, Licensing may place restrictions on your license. You must have an approved risk evaluation before you may be present at an operation.

(f) In addition to the Administrator's Licensing background check process, the operation where you serve as an administrator must also request a background check on you, as specified in §745.605(a)(2)(A). This process is separate and apart from the Administrator's Licensing background check process.
