      the same as originally licensed and the entity is operating in the
      same facility or facilities as originally licensed, the state
      department shall treat the entity's status as a renewal and
      assess the applicable renewal fee. Only newly hired employees
      shall be required to undergo criminal background checks as
      required in section 26-6-107.
