Section 110-04-0140 - Will you license, contract, authorize my employment at a group care facility, or authorize me to have unsupervised access to children if my conviction has been expunged, vacated from my record, I have been pardoned for a crime, or I have obtained a CPI or CROP?(1) If you receive a pardon or a court of law acts to expunge or vacate a conviction on your record, the crime will not be considered a conviction for the purposes of licensing, contracting, certification, authorization for employment at a group care facility, or authorization for unsupervised access to children.(2) When you have obtained a CPI or CROP, DCYF must:(a) Disqualify if your background information contains a pending criminal charge or conviction of a crime under WAC 110-04-0120(1); or(b) Assess character, suitability, and competence under WAC 110-04-0120, if the CPI or CROP does not apply to a pending criminal charge, conviction of a crime, or negative action under WAC 110-04-0120(2).(3) A CROP does not apply to founded findings of child abuse or neglect. No finding of child abuse or neglect may be destroyed based solely on a CROP.(4) A CROP must be included as part of the criminal history record reports, qualifying letters, or other assessments pursuant to RCW 43.43.830 through 43.43.838.(5) If you have obtained a CPI, DCYF may still consider the facts that led to the associated founded findings for child abuse or neglect to determine whether you have the character, suitability, and competence to have unsupervised access to children.Wash.
