Form LIC 198B is used to request out-of-state child abuse/neglect reports for individuals applying to work or be involved in licensed facilities or programs in California. The form is submitted to the appropriate agencies or departments in other states to obtain information about any substantiated child abuse or neglect reports involving the individual. By utilizing this form, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) ensures a comprehensive background check and helps prevent the employment or participation of individuals with a history of child abuse or neglect.
