Violations
Text reproduced verbatim · Ohio Department of Children and YouthNearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing.

Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.
