§416.13(d): Child abuse register check for household adults
Providers, employees, volunteers and anyone 18 or older who lives in the home, or starts to live there, must complete a Statewide Central Register database check. The citation concerns that requirement. It does not say what a check found.

The state's wording
All child day care providers, employees, volunteers and any person age eighteen (18) or older living or who begins to live in a group family day care home are required to complete a Statewide Central Register database check.
This is the text the state (OCFS) attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.
Worth asking the provider
Has everyone over 18 in the home completed the required register check?
Reading it on a record
Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
