This legislation authorizes state-level peace officer standards and training agencies to access criminal history records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It amends federal law to explicitly include these agencies among the authorized entities that can receive such sensitive information for official use. The bill defines a "peace officer standards and training agency" as a state body responsible for setting standards for the hiring, training, ethical conduct, and retention of law enforcement officers through certification or licensing. This clarification aims to support their role in ensuring qualified personnel. Finally, the Attorney General is directed to update federal regulations within 180 days to facilitate the implementation of these new information-sharing provisions.
