Section 1596.796 Of Article 1. General Provisions And Definitions From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 3.4. >> Article 1.
1596.796
. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, payments are
not required to be made to any person who provides child care
services and is exempt from the licensing requirements of this
chapter, Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 1596.90), or Chapter
3.6 (commencing with Section 1597.30) if that person either is known
to have tuberculosis, or to have been convicted of any crime
involving violence against, or abuse or neglect of, children.
This section shall not be construed to create an affirmative duty
on any individual, government body, or other entity paying for child
care to investigate the person to whom payments are being made nor
shall it be construed to create any liability for failure to
investigate that person.
To the extent that this section is inconsistent with federal law,
it shall be inoperative.
