The bill establishes a nationwide Violent Criminal Offender Database, requiring the Attorney General to create and maintain a publicly accessible database of individuals with certain convictions. The database must be updated regularly, include Federal and State records, and be available free of charge to the public. States receiving grants must submit necessary data, and non-compliant states will face penalties. The bill also calls for a report on current data-sharing processes and recommendations to ensure effective criminal record sharing across states and with the Federal Government.
