Requiring law enforcement agencies to share records with other law enforcement agencies about law enforcement officers related to criminal conduct or conduct giving rise to licensing or certification sanctions.

SB 492 requires Kansas law enforcement agencies to share an applicant's background records - including information about criminal conduct or conduct leading to licensing or certification sanctions - with other agencies when the applicant seeks a law enforcement position. Applicants must sign a waiver authorizing the disclosure, and agencies must share the records within 21 days, either by providing copies or allowing in-person review. Agencies with pre-2018 nondisclosure agreements may withhold records, but those with post-2018 agreements must share necessary information while redacting non-applicant personal details. The bill ensures shared records are treated as the original agency's records under open records laws and protects agencies from liability for good-faith compliance.
