The state's wording
Within five days of a household member turning eighteen (18) years of age or a person eighteen (18) years of age or older beginning to live in the residence, the program must: submit the necessary fingerprint image necessary to complete the criminal history review required pursuant to section 413.4 of this Article.
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
Were fingerprints submitted for every adult in the household who needed them?
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.
