Regulation text
What California Code § 102419(d)(1) actually says
California Code § 102419(d)(1)
The licensee shall request the child's parent or authorized representative to sign and date the bottom portion of the notice form LIC 995A (8/06), which acknowledges that the parent or authorized representative has received and read the LIC 995A. The bottom portion of this form must be kept in the child’s file as proof that the parent or authorized representative has been notified of his or her rights and received a copy of the Caregiver background Check Process, LIC 995E (6/05), and the Family Child Care Consumer Awareness Information, LIC 9212 (10/05).
From the field
What providers tell us about this citation
Based on community experience, not official guidance.
Inspectors look for the signed LIC 995A in every child's file, and they don't just check one or two files. During a full review, they'll pull five to ten files at random and flip straight to the admission paperwork. The form needs both a parent signature and a date at the bottom. If the signature line is blank or the date is missing, that's a citation per file, not a single write-up. Inspectors also check that parents received the LIC 995E and LIC 9212 forms. Keep a checklist stapled to the inside of each child's folder so you can verify completeness at enrollment before the file goes into your cabinet.

Common practices to stay clear of Parent Rights Notice
Common practices shared by providers. Confirm requirements with your licensing analyst.
Common practices
What to avoid
- Having the parent sign the top acknowledgment section but missing the signature on the bottom portion of LIC 995A. Providers rush through enrollment paperwork and skip the detachable section. Inspectors specifically check the bottom portion because that's what the regulation requires to remain in the file.
- Filing the complete LIC 995A without separating the bottom portion for the child's record. The regulation requires the signed bottom portion kept in the child's file as proof of notification. Providers keep the whole form together and can't produce the specific proof section during inspection.
- Using outdated versions of LIC 995A, 995E, or 9212 forms. Providers print forms once and reuse them for years. Inspectors check form revision dates, and using an older version means parents didn't receive current rights information.
- Failing to have the parent date their signature on the form. A signature without a date doesn't prove when the parent was notified, and inspectors document undated signatures as incomplete compliance.
- Not providing copies of both the LIC 995E (Caregiver Background Check Process) and LIC 9212 (Consumer Awareness Information) alongside the 995A. Providers give parents the main form but forget the companion documents. Inspectors ask parents during interviews if they received all three.
