Summary
The bill directs the Attorney General to build a free, searchable online database that lists anyone with a qualifying violent‑crime conviction, using both federal and state records. States that receive Byrne JAG grant money must submit their qualifying conviction data to the database or lose those funds. It also requires the Justice Department to report on how criminal records are shared among states and with the federal government.
