The Division shall obtain from appropriate law enforcement agencies information on the background and personal history of each applicant for a license to operate a child-placing agency, person who is licensed to operate a child-placing agency or employee, volunteer or independent contractor of such an applicant or licensee who provides or will provide services to children to determine whether the person investigated has a history of maltreating a child that, in the determination of the Division, renders the person unacceptable to provide services to children.

   1. (a) Conduct an investigation of each licensee, employee, volunteer and independent contractor pursuant to this section at least once every 5 years after the initial investigation; and
   2. (b) Adopt regulations prescribing the conditions under which the Division may deem a person investigated pursuant to subsection 1 to have a history of maltreating a child that renders the person unacceptable to provide services to children.
