Stat. tit. 74, § 74-150.9a","heading":"Oklahoma Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Act –","body":"Legislative findings – Definitions – Effect on other statutes.\n\nA. This section shall be known and may be cited as the\n\n\"Oklahoma Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Act\".\n\nB. The State of Oklahoma finds that:\n\n1. Both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and state criminal\n\nhistory record repositories maintain fingerprint-based criminal\n\nhistory records;\n\n2. These criminal history records are shared and exchanged for\n\ncriminal justice purposes through a federal-state program known as\n\nthe Interstate Identification Index System;\n\n3. Although these records are also exchanged for legally\n\nauthorized, noncriminal justice uses, such as governmental licensing\n\nand employment background checks, the purposes for and procedures by\n\nwhich they are exchanged vary widely from state to state;\n\n4. An interstate and federal-state compact is necessary to\n\nfacilitate authorized interstate criminal history record exchanges\n\nfor noncriminal justice purposes on a uniform basis, while\n\npermitting each state to effectuate its own dissemination policy\n\nwithin its own borders; and\n\n5. The Compact will allow federal and state records to be\n\nprovided expeditiously to governmental and nongovernmental agencies\n\nthat use these records in accordance with pertinent federal and\n\nstate law, while simultaneously enhancing the accuracy of the\n\nrecords and safeguarding the information contained therein from\n\nunauthorized disclosure or use.\n\nC.
