Alabama Justice Information Commission: New Rules for Biometric Data and Background Checks

⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.

This proposed bill would establish new rules regarding biometric data collection by certain entities in Alabama. It proposes the creation of an Alabama Background Check Service with specific types, uses, and fees for non-criminal justice background checks. Additionally, it establishes penalties under a new 'Alabama Rap Back Program.' The bill also repeals existing law related to the release of criminal history information. If enacted, this would affect entities that collect biometric data, individuals seeking certain types of background checks, and those involved in the criminal justice system.
