Creates a national system to track repeat violent felons and share their information with communities.

This bill would create a national program to track individuals convicted of multiple violent crimes or serious drug offenses. It would require states to maintain public registries of these "repeat violent felons," sharing their information with local communities, schools, and the public through websites. This aims to protect the public by making information about these individuals more accessible.

What Would Change

Today, there isn't a national system specifically for tracking "repeat violent felons" with mandatory public registration and community notification. After this bill, states would be required to create public registries and websites for individuals convicted of multiple violent or serious drug offenses. This information would be shared widely with communities and the public, and felons would have ongoing registration duties for life.

Key Provisions

Establishes a national program within the Department of Justice to track repeat violent felons.
Requires states and participating Indian Tribes to create and maintain public registries of repeat violent felons.
Mandates that repeat violent felons register their home, work, and school addresses, vehicle details, and international travel plans.
Requires repeat violent felons to verify their information in person every 90 days for life.
Creates public websites at both state and national levels where people can search for registered repeat violent felons.
Requires local officials to notify schools, public housing, social services, and volunteer groups about registered repeat violent felons in their area.
