Criminal Justice Information Systems
2002 Enacted/Pending Legislation
In 2002, three states have enacted the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact, bringing the total number of participating states to 16. This Compact establishes formal procedures and governance structures for the use and sharing of criminal information for non-criminal justice purposes.
Five states have adopted the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision, bringing the total number of participating states to 30. It establishes procedures for information exchange to track offenders under correctional supervision. This Compact will go into effect when 35 states have adopted it.
Integration efforts, in 2002, are attempting to make criminal records more accessible to the public. The state of Washington has created a publicly accessible sex offender Web site (S.B. 6488); New York is considering a measure that would require conviction information to be available to the general public (New York A.B. 5291). Massachusetts is debating the merits of making criminal records publicly available via the Internet (Massachusetts H.B. 3064).
Florida has enacted a measure that authorizes the use of civil penalties to fund local law enforcement automation (S.B. 1554).
