AI Summary
This proposal lets state licensing boards get FBI criminal history records to run background checks when someone applies for a license or a multistate practice privilege under an interstate compact. The FBI would share the records through agreements with state law enforcement or identification bureaus, but only as required by the compact’s rules.
It strictly limits how these records can be used and shared. Boards can use them only to decide on a license or privilege. They cannot share the actual record details with the compact’s commission, other state entities, or the public. They may tell the compact just two things: that the background check was completed, and whether it was satisfactory or not—nothing more. The bill also defines key terms like “criminal history record information,” “license,” and “privilege.”
- Who is affected: People seeking state licenses or multistate practice privileges; state licensing boards; the FBI.
- What changes: FBI records can be used for required background checks tied to interstate compacts, and boards may report only completion and a yes/no result—no sharing of the detailed record.
