Please be sure to safely store all written documentation in your records - even if I have viewed them. The required documentation must be maintained for future inspections, as the inspectors do not maintain this information or documentation from one inspection to the next.
The provider must send evidence to the licensing inspector that the background checks have been requested no later than 10 days of this notification dated 8/23/2023. The applicant must also then forward the results to the licensing inspector upon receipt.
