Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Compact continues; state privacy rules unchanged

The compact stays in effect until the Legislature passes a new law that withdraws Nebraska. Joining the compact does not change who can see criminal history records under Nebraska law. The Nebraska State Patrol must still follow the Security, Privacy, and Dissemination of Criminal History Information Act.

Nebraska joins interstate background-check compact

The law adopts a national compact to share criminal history records for noncriminal justice uses, like jobs and licenses. The Superintendent of Law Enforcement signs for the state, and the superintendent or a designee is the state compact officer. The Nebraska State Patrol is the official record repository and runs the exchanges. The Patrol can set rules and procedures for how requests and responses work. This improves cross-state background checks but also increases sharing of personal records across states when allowed by law.
