HR 5211 United States House · 119th Congress

Peace Officer Standards and Training Agency Information Access Clarification Act

This bill clarifies that the FBI may share records with state agencies responsible for setting standards for law enforcement officers, specifically naming "peace officer standards and training agencies" in federal law. It directly affects state-level agencies that certify, license, or otherwise qualify police officers through training, ethical conduct, and retention standards. The key change amends FBI information-sharing rules to explicitly include these state agencies alongside existing entities like police departments and sentencing commissions. The bill does not create new requirements but formally expands existing authority for FBI record exchanges with these specific state agencies.
