6.19 	the county can authorize payment for care provided by that provider. The commissioner

6.25 	would require reauthorization. When a provider has been authorized for payment for 
6.26 	providing care for families in more than one county, the county responsible for 
6.27 	reauthorization of that provider is the county of the family with a current authorization for 
6.28 	that provider and who has used the provider for the longest length of time.

7.7 	a background study on an individual who has reached age ten but is not yet age 13 and is 
7.8 	living in the household where the nonlicensed child care will be provided when the county 
7.9 	has reasonable cause as defined under section 245C.02, subdivision 15 individuals identified 
7.10 	under section 245C.02, subdivision 6a.
7.11 	(c) After authorization, the commissioner shall perform a background study when an 
7.12 	individual identified under section 245C.02, subdivision 6a, joins the household. The provider 
7.13 	must report all family changes that would require a new background study.
7.14 	(d) At each reauthorization, the county shall perform a background study of all individuals 
7.15 	in the provider's household for whom paragraphs (b) and (c) require a background study.

7.17 	background study of all individuals for whom the background study will expire.

7.28 	disqualifying characteristic under paragraphs (b) to (e) or under section 245C.14 or 245C.15. 
7.29 	If a county has determined that a provider is able to be authorized in that county, and a 
7.30 	family in another county later selects that provider, the provider is able to be authorized in 
7.31 	the second county without undergoing a new background investigation unless one of the

8.31 	is less. The commissioner may: (1) assign a county with no reported provider prices to a 
9.1 	similar price cluster; and (2) consider county level access when determining final price 
9.2 	clusters.
9.3 	(b) A rate which includes a special needs rate paid under subdivision 3 may be in excess
