Bill Summary

The proposal would create a searchable public database listing people convicted of violent crimes, allowing anyone to look up whether someone has such a conviction history. This would affect convicted individuals by making their violent crime records permanently and widely accessible online, while potentially helping the general public, employers, and organizations screen for safety concerns. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
