AB 1989: Community care facilities: background checks.

This bill aims to amend the California Community Care Facilities Act to allow licensees to approve individuals to care for children before a background check from another state's child abuse and neglect registry is complete. The community care facility must first submit a request for the out-of-state check to the department. If the applicant is found to be disqualified, they must be removed from the facility immediately and notified within 3 business days. The bill also clarifies the process for removing applicants and ensures that no reimbursement is required for this specific reason.
