Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11 § 903

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 44, November 1, 2024

Section 903 - Entities Authorized to Access CACI Information May Not Make Determinations Based Solely on the CACI Listing

A primary purpose of CACI is to permit authorized entities to locate prior reports detailing investigations of known or suspected child abuse or severe neglect. An entity receiving information from CACI is responsible for reviewing the underlying investigative report(s) from the agency submitting the CACI report and making an independent assessment regarding the merits of the investigating agency's finding of substantiated or inconclusive child abuse or severe neglect. Penal Code section 11170(b)(9)(A) provides that an entity receiving CACI information is responsible for obtaining the original investigative report from the reporting agency, and for drawing independent conclusions regarding the quality of the evidence disclosed, and its sufficiency for making decisions regarding investigation, prosecution, employment, licensing, adoption or placement of a child. An entity receiving CACI information shall not act solely upon CACI information or the fact that an individual is listed on CACI to grant or deny any benefit or right.
