WHAT IT DOES

What the bill would do, and why it matters

BASED ON THE TEXT AS REPORTED IN THE HOUSE
tl;drWRITTEN OCT 4 FROM THE REPORTED TEXT

Professional licenses let people work in regulated occupations, and some interstate agreements require criminal history checks. The bill would require the FBI to provide relevant records for those checks when a compact requires them. It would limit how licensing authorities can use and share the records.

  • REPORTED, NOT PASSED A committee has reported this bill out for floor consideration, but the full chamber has not yet voted on it. Reaching the floor is a meaningful step, but most reported bills still don't become law.
  • DATA NOTE No Congressional Research Service summary was available.
WHAT IT WOULD DO · 3 PROVISIONSREPORTED IN HOUSE
  1. Requires FBI criminal-record access

    The FBI would have to provide criminal history record information to a state licensing authority, through an agreement with a state law enforcement agency or identification bureau, when an interstate compact requires the information for a background check of someone seeking a license or practice privilege.

  2. Limits how states may use records

    A state licensing authority could use the information only to decide whether to grant the license or practice privilege. It could not share the records with the compact commission, another state entity or licensing authority, or the public.

  3. Allows notice that a check is complete

    A licensing authority could tell a compact commission that a background check is complete and whether it was satisfactory. The bill says that this notice would not count as sharing criminal history record information.

THE CONTEXT

Interstate compacts can require criminal history background checks for people seeking authority to practice in a member state. The bill would set a federal process for making FBI criminal history information available for those checks while limiting who can see or use the records.
