| If the Department finds that a nursing assistant, | 2 |
| habilitation aide, or
child care aide has abused a resident, | 3 |
| neglected a resident, or misappropriated
resident property in a | 4 |
| facility, the Department shall notify the individual of
this | 5 |
| finding by certified mail sent to the address contained in the | 6 |
| registry.
The notice shall give the individual an opportunity | 7 |
| to contest the finding in a

brief statement from the | 14 |
| individual, if he or she chooses to make such a
statement. The | 15 |
| Department shall make information in the registry available to
| 16 |

| an individual
listed in the registry, any information disclosed | 18 |

shall also include disclosure of any | 19 |
| statement in the registry relating to the
