The division shall develop forms on which a charitable organization shall certify that the criminal record search is conducted for a charitable organization or for the use of a charitable organization.

(B) For purposes of this section, the phrase 'charitable organization' shall have the same meaning as provided in Section 33-56-20(1) regardless of whether the organization is granted an exemption from the Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act, Chapter 56, Title 33."
