Regulation text
What California Code § 102369(b)(9) actually says

From the field
What providers tell us about this citation
Based on community experience, not official guidance.
TB clearances are one of the easiest citations to prevent and one of the most common to receive. Every adult in the home during childcare hours needs a current TB test, completed no more than one year before or seven days after their first day in the home. Inspectors pull your file and check dates with a calculator. The seven-day grace period is not flexible. If your mother-in-law starts helping with afternoon care or a new roommate moves in, their TB clock starts ticking immediately. Keep a tracking spreadsheet with test dates and expiration dates for every adult in the household, not just paid staff.

What other providers do
Common practices to stay clear of Adult TB Clearance
Common practices shared by providers. Confirm requirements with your licensing analyst.
Common practices
What to avoid
- Not getting TB clearances for non-staff adults who are present during operating hours. Providers assume only employees need testing. CCLD requires clearance for ANY adult in the home while children are in care, including family members and roommates.
- Letting the one-year window lapse without re-testing. Providers get their initial clearance and forget it expires. Inspectors check the test date on file and cite immediately if it's older than 12 months from the current visit.
- Confusing the TB skin test with the TB clearance. A positive skin test requires a follow-up chest X-ray and physician sign-off. Providers sometimes file only the skin test result without the complete clearance documentation.
- Missing the seven-day window for new household members. A relative visits 'for a few weeks' and providers plan to get the test 'soon.' Inspectors count calendar days from when the person first appeared in the home and cite on day eight without clearance documentation.
