# O.C.G.A. § 49-3-7. Removal of county director for falsification of qualifications.

The State Personnel Board and the Department of Administrative Services shall remove from office any county director who has falsified any statement relating to his or her education, social welfare service, or other qualification, in any particular, whether material or immaterial. The application of the county director for examination, on file with the Department of Administrative Services, shall not be allowed to be varied by other evidence offered by the county director; the application itself shall be the controlling factor in the determination of its truth or untruth.
