Bill > HR9306

This bill, known as the States Handling Access to Reciprocity for Employment (SHARE) Act, authorizes the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to provide criminal history record information to state licensing authorities for the purpose of conducting background checks on individuals seeking a license or privilege to practice an occupation or profession in a compact member state. The bill also establishes that state licensing authorities can only use this information for the purpose of license or privilege applications and cannot share it with other parties, except for informing a compact commission of the completion of the background check. The bill defines key terms such as "commission," "criminal history record information," "license," "privilege," "state," "state identification bureau," and "state licensing authority."
