SHARE Act of 2025

HR 2332, the SHARE Act of 2025, standardizes how states share criminal history background check information for professional licensing across state lines. It requires the FBI to provide this information to state licensing authorities through agreements with law enforcement, specifically for verifying applicants seeking licenses or practice privileges in multiple states. The bill strictly prohibits states from sharing detailed criminal history records with other states or the public, allowing only a simple "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" result to be shared. This directly affects licensed professionals (like nurses or contractors) seeking to practice in multiple states and the state agencies that issue their licenses.
