LIC 198 - Child Abuse Central Index Check For County Licensed Facilities

Form LIC 198 is utilized by county licensed facilities in California to request a Child Abuse Central Index (CACI) check. The form is submitted to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) to conduct a background check on employees or potential employees to determine if they have been named in any substantiated child abuse or neglect reports. The LIC 198 form ensures that appropriate measures are taken to protect children by screening individuals working in county licensed facilities to prevent the employment of individuals who have been involved in child abuse or neglect incidents.
