     For caregivers exempt from licensure, we assist with the TrustLine registration process. TrustLine is a registry of license-exempt caregivers who have been cleared by the Department of Justice. Call 1-800-822-8490 or your local SNCS Resource and Referral office at 530-272-8866 or e-mail us for an application and/or more information.
