“SEC. 6404. Sharing and use of criminal history record information.

“(a) Requirement for Federal Bureau of Investigation to provide certain criminal history record information.—Subject to the restrictions in subsection (b), the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall furnish or otherwise make available to a State licensing authority, through an agreement with a State law enforcement agency or State identification bureau, criminal history record information to the extent required by an interstate compact, or the regulations duly promulgated thereunder, for the purpose of conducting a criminal history background check of any individual seeking a license or privilege to practice an occupation or profession in a compact member State.

“(b) State licensing authority use of criminal history record information.—

“(1) PROHIBITION.—A State licensing authority that is a member of an interstate compact that requires completion of a criminal history background check for an individual for the purpose of acting upon a license or privilege of that individual to practice an occupation or profession in a State shall use such information solely for that purpose and may not share criminal history record information or any part thereof with the compact’s Commission, any other State entity or State Licensing Authority, or the public.

“(2) SHARING FACT OF COMPLETION OF CRIMINAL HISTORY BACKGROUND CHECK EXPRESSLY PERMITTED.—A State licensing authority informing a compact Commission of the completion of the criminal history background check, including a binary determination of whether or not the criminal history background check of an applicant was satisfactory, is expressly permitted under this section and shall not constitute the sharing of criminal history record information under paragraph (1).

The term does not include identification information such as fingerprint records if such information does not indicate the individual’s involvement with the criminal justice system.

“(3) LICENSE.—The term ‘license’ means a license, multistate license, certification, or other authorization by which a State licensing authority authorizes an individual to practice an occupation or profession in that State.

“(4) PRIVILEGE.—The term ‘privilege’ means a grant of authority issued pursuant to an interstate compact to a license holder that permits the license holder to practice in a compact member State.

“(5) STATE.—The term ‘State’ means any State, territory, or possession of the United States, and the District of Columbia.
