Region-Specific Features
Some Lumieos features apply only to specific geographic regions or jurisdictions. These features are opt-in and must be enabled per season by a region administrator.
CA AB506 Fingerprinting Support
California Assembly Bill 506 (AB506) requires background checks, including fingerprinting, for certain youth-serving organizations. Lumieos supports tracking fingerprinting compliance for regions operating in California.
Enabling
Admin URL:
Fingerprinting must be enabled on a per-season basis and will persist into future seasons once turned on.
Important: Enabling fingerprinting takes effect immediately — teams will see fingerprinting status as part of their overall team status right away.
Warning: Toggling the fingerprinting checkbox will not clear the team status cache. Cached status will persist for up to 1 hour, or until something else triggers a cache clear (such as a new import).
How It Works
Once enabled:
- The team importer gains a file field for the fingerprinting report and adds a status column for fingerprinting reporting.
- The region team list gains new status icons:
- YPP Screening — Green when the FIRST report shows the coach’s YPP agreement signed and the “YPP Screening Requirements Met” verdict as Satisfies YPP Requirements (fingerprinting is not part of this check)
- Lumieos Account — Blue if the user has an account, grey if not
- Fingerprint — Green when Live Scan fingerprinting, Mandated Reporter Training (MRT), and the BCIA 9018 form are all complete; a warning color when only the BCIA 9018 form is unconfirmed before its effective date (see below); red otherwise. Only shown when CA Fingerprinting is enabled for the season.
- Team status incorporates fingerprinting compliance into the overall status calculation.
- The Season Compliance Report (Region Management → Reports) gains Live Scan, MRT, and BCIA 9018 columns for each coach.
BCIA 9018 Form
The FIRST fingerprinting report does not list the BCIA 9018 form as its own column, so Lumieos infers it from the CA YPP Clearances column:
| CA YPP Clearances | Live Scan and MRT | Inferred BCIA 9018 status |
|---|---|---|
| Met | — | Complete — every clearance component, including the form, is on file. |
| Not met | Both met | Missing — the form is the only outstanding component. |
| Not met | Either not met | Unknown — the form cannot be determined until the other items are done. |
The form becomes a hard requirement on an effective date — January 1, 2027 by default; the date can be configured per instance.
- Before the effective date: when both coaches have Live Scan and MRT on file, the team stays in good standing. A missing or unknown form is surfaced as a warning — the fingerprint icon changes color, the team status dialog notes the upcoming requirement and its date, and the team dashboard shows an informational BCIA 9018 Form action item.
- From the effective date: the form is required. A coach whose form is missing or unknown is treated exactly like a coach missing Live Scan or MRT — the team’s status becomes Missing State Requirements until the FIRST report shows the clearances met.
Note: The inferred status is only as current as your last fingerprinting report import. A form submitted to FIRST will not show as complete in Lumieos until the “CA YPP Clearances” column reflects it.
Impact on Teams
When fingerprinting is enabled, teams in the region will see fingerprinting status as part of their coach compliance requirements. Coaches must complete Live Scan fingerprinting, Mandated Reporter Training, and — from the effective date above — the BCIA 9018 form to achieve full “Good” status for their team.
The BCIA 9018 form
The California DOJ BCIA 9018 form is tracked alongside Live Scan and mandated reporter training. It becomes a clearance requirement on a set effective date, and Lumieos warns ahead of that date rather than blocking: a coach with Live Scan and training on file but no confirmed form stays cleared, with an amber fingerprint icon in the region team list and an Upcoming State Requirement — BCIA 9018 notice on the team’s own page naming the date. From the date on, an unconfirmed form blocks clearance like any other outstanding item.
Where the form’s status comes from, and what happens to reports that predate it, is covered under Teams Management.
California State Requirements Warning
For regions operating in California, Lumieos displays a prominent warning on team pages when state-specific requirements (such as AB506 fingerprinting or the BCIA 9018 form) are not yet complete. This helps coaches understand that additional compliance steps may be required beyond standard FIRST screening.
