Criminal history records.
Summary
Under existing law, the Department of Justice is required to maintain state summary criminal history information, as defined. Existing law authorizes the Attorney General to furnish state summary criminal history information and, when specifically authorized, federal criminal history information upon a showing of a compelling need, to various entities for a variety of purposes. This bill would add any foreign government to the list of entities to which the Attorney General is authorized to provide the described information, if the information is requested by the individual who is the subject of the record requested and if that information is needed in conjunction with the individual's application to adopt a minor child who is a citizen of that foreign nation. The bill would specify procedures for requesting this information. The bill also would require the department to disseminate the date and agency name associated with all retained peace officer or nonsworn law enforcement agency employee preemployment criminal offender record information search requests, as specified.
