National violent offender database and reporting
This bill would require the Attorney General to create a free, public Violent Criminal Offender Database within 180 days. The database would hold Federal and State records of qualifying convictions and be searchable by name, address, date of birth, sex, race, nationality, citizenship status, conviction type, probation status, jurisdiction, fines, prison terms, plea or trial outcome, sentencing judge, and prosecuting office. The Attorney General would update the database at least quarterly and remove convictions that are expunged, vacated, set aside, legally inoperative, or fully pardoned. States that receive Byrne JAG grants would have to send qualifying conviction data within 180 days and on an ongoing basis. The bill would let the Attorney General withhold Byrne JAG funds from noncompliant States and allow those funds to be distributed directly to local governments.
