States Handling Access to Reciprocity for Employment Act

States Handling Access to Reciprocity for Employment Act or the SHARE Act

This bill requires the Federal Bureau of Investigation to make available criminal history record information to a state occupational or professional licensing authority for background checks of individuals seeking a license under an interstate compact.

A state licensing authority may not share criminal history record information with the compact's commission, any other state entity or licensing authority, or the public, but may inform the compact's commission of completion of a background check.
