Peace Officer Standards and Training Agency Information Access Clarification Act
Introduced Sep 8, 2025 by Rep. Derek Schmidt
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill authorizes a new type of entity—peace officer standards and training agencies—to access criminal history record information maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The term peace officer standards and training agency means an agency of a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory that is authorized to set standards for the hiring, training, ethical conduct, and retention of its law enforcement officers through certification, licensing, or other similar qualification processes.
