does not reside in the adult foster care residence and the subject of the study has been continuously
affiliated with the license holder since the date of the commissioner's study.
    Subd. 3. Criminal history data. County agencies shall have access to the criminal history
data in the same manner as county licensing agencies under this chapter for purposes of
background studies completed by county agencies on legal nonlicensed child care providers to
determine eligibility for child care funds under chapter 119B.
    Subd. 4. Background study. A county agency may accept a background study completed
by the commissioner under this chapter in place of the background study required under section
