LB 51 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact

LB 51 adopts the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact (34 U.S.C. 40316) to establish a standardized framework for sharing Nebraska's criminal history records with other states for non-criminal justice purposes, such as employment background checks. The Nebraska State Patrol will serve as the central repository for these records, and the Superintendent of Law Enforcement will act as the state's compact officer to administer the process. The bill clarifies that this adoption does not change existing state laws governing public access to criminal records or the Nebraska State Patrol's responsibilities under current privacy and security laws. It specifically ensures that the compact only applies to authorized interstate exchanges for non-criminal justice uses, with no impact on law enforcement record-sharing procedures.
