The existence of a conviction record does not necessarily disqualify an applicant for licensure, or an individual from
employment or residents in an adult foster care facility. However, it does provide BCAL with information which will be carefully
evaluated by licensing staff. A failure on the part of an applicant to provide BCAL with accurate and truthful information
and the authorization requested on this form may be sufficient cause to deny issuance of a license.
