Being Investigated. Can Anyone Help?

[Cat Herder]

It is unfortunate that the laws have had to become so stringent. With so many illegal providers using this excuse to hide their under the table business, it has become a necessary evil.

When the state comes out it should be easy for her to clear up if they are truly family members, IMHO.

Yes ... in CA:

Unlicensed: Illegal
Licence-Exempt: Legal. You don't need a license but are within the states laws and regulations but aren't regulated by child care laws and licensing.
Licensed: Legal. You need a license and are regulated by licensing regulations.
