SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Thus far, the Federal Government and 34 states are parties to the Compact which governs the exchange of criminal history records for licensing, employment, immigration and naturalization matters, and similar purposes. The Compact also provides a legal framework for the establishment of a cooperative federal-state system to exchange such records.

The United States Attorney General appoints 15 persons from state and federal agencies to serve on the Council. The Council will prescribe system rules and procedures for the effective and proper operation of the Interstate Identification Index system for noncriminal justice purposes.

Matters for discussion are expected to include:

(1) Proposed Changes to the Compact Council's Frequently Asked Questions Guide

(2) Modernization of the CJIS Security Policy

(3) Review of the National Fingerprint File Program Participation Implementation Plans
