1. (a) An individual in a child care business may not abuse a child or engage in any exploitive or sexual act with a child. The department or designee may require an individual who is subject to a background review under this section to provide an evaluation from a probation officer, health professional, or mental health professional affirming that the individual is free from problems that might pose a significant risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a child in care.
2. (b) To participate in the child care assistance program, a child care provider identified in 7 AAC 41.200(a)(1) - (6) must meet the applicable requirements of AS 47.05.300 - 47.05.390 and 7 AAC 10.900 - 7 AAC 10.990 (barrier crimes and conditions; background checks) for that provider and for each individual associated with that provider in a manner described in 7 AAC 10.900(b). If the provider requests and receives a provisional valid background check under 7 AAC 10.920 for that provider or another individual, the department office responsible for approvals under this chapter will, or the designee shall, issue a provisional approval if the department or designee determines that the provider or other individual is otherwise eligible to provide care for children under this section. If the department determines under 7 AAC 10.915 that a barrier crime or condition exists with respect to the provider or other individual, or if the provisional valid background check issued under 7 AAC 10.920 expires, the department will, or the designee shall, revoke the approval unless the provider requests a variance under 7 AAC 10.930, and the department grants that request under 7 AAC 10.935.
