The SHARE Act of 2025 authorizes the Federal Bureau of Investigation to furnish criminal history record information to state licensing authorities. This data is specifically for conducting background checks on individuals applying for occupational or professional licenses or privileges within states that are part of an interstate compact . The bill mandates that the FBI make this information available through agreements with state law enforcement agencies or state identification bureaus. State licensing authorities are strictly limited in their use of this sensitive data, permitted to use it solely for making licensing decisions. Crucially, these authorities are expressly prohibited from sharing the detailed criminal history record information with the compact's Commission, other state entities, or the public. However, they are allowed to inform the compact Commission that a background check was completed and provide a binary determination of whether the check was satisfactory, without disclosing the specific criminal history details.
