Disclosure of sensitive information-law enforcement.
HB 50 expands access to criminal identification and intelligence information to specific state agencies, including law enforcement, the parole board, corrections, homeland security (for defined purposes), designated agencies under W.S. 14-6-227, and family services. It requires these agencies to implement reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access, with security protocols tailored to each agency's specific use of the information. The bill modifies existing law (W.S. 9-1-627(c)) to formalize these access rules and security requirements. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
