Existing law requires the Department of Justice to notify an agency that submits a child abuse report, or a prosecutor who requests notification, of any information maintained in the index that is relevant to the known or suspected instance of child abuse or severe neglect reported by the agency. Existing law further requires that the relevant agency, as specified, make this information available to the appropriate licensing agency, as specified, as well as to the reporting medical practitioner, child custodian, guardian ad litem, or appointed counsel, if he or she is treating or investigating a case of known or suspected child abuse or severe neglect.
