2. knowingly makes a materially false or incomplete statement in connection with the CCCBC-based determination of eligibility for child care purposes;

3. has been convicted of or plead guilty or nolo contendere to any of the crimes listed in R.S. 15:587.1(C), or those of a jurisdiction other than Louisiana which would constitute a crime under the provisions cited in R.S. 15:587.1(C); or

Until the required written notice is received from DCFS indicating that a persons name is recorded on the state central registry as a perpetrator for a justified finding of child abuse or neglect, the department shall not withhold a determination that a person is eligible for child care purposes, unless the results of some other component of the CCCBC require a determination of ineligibility.
