Establishes a public database of violent criminal offenders and seeks to improve data sharing among states.
The bill, known as Logan's Law, mandates the creation of a publicly accessible database of individuals convicted of violent crimes. This Violent Criminal Offender Database will include both federal and state records, be searchable by various criteria, and be updated quarterly. The Attorney General must also submit a report to Congress detailing current criminal record-sharing processes and identifying any procedural burdens that hinder the sharing of criminal records. Additionally, the bill outlines conditions for the distribution of Byrne JAG grant funds to states and local governments.
