The Congress finds that--
(1) nationwide--
(A) many State criminal record systems are not up
to date and contain incomplete or incorrect
information; and
(B) less than 20 percent of all criminal records
are fully computerized, include court dispositions, and

database is an essential element in fighting crime and
development of such a database and is a national urgent
priority.

establishing specific requirements for a State to qualify as a fully
participating member of the Interstate Identification Index.

(a) shall require--
(1) that all arrest reports and final disposition orders
are submitted to the State records repository within 21 days;
(2) the State repository to enter these records and orders
into the State database not more than 14 days after the
repository receives the information;
(3) the State to conduct audits, at least annually, of
State criminal records to ensure that such records contain

fully participating member of the Interstate Identification Index.

TITLE II--LIABILITY FOR EARLY RELEASE OF VIOLENT FELONS

SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) violent criminals often serve only a small portion of
their original sentences;
(2) a significant proportion of the most serious violent
crimes committed in the United States are committed by
criminals who have been released early from a sentence for a
previous violent crime;
(3) violent criminals who are released early from prison
often travel to other States to commit additional violent
crimes;
(4) the crime and threat of crime committed by violent
criminals released early from prison affects tourism, economic
development, use of the interstate highway system, federally
owned or supported facilities, and other commercial activities
of individuals; and
(5) the policies of one State regarding the early release
of criminals sentenced in that State for a violent crime often
affects the citizens of other States, who can influence those
policies only through Federal law.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to reduce violent crime
by requiring States to bear the responsibility for the consequences of
releasing violent criminals before they serve the full term for which
they were sentenced.

SEC. 202. CAUSE OF ACTION.

(a) In General.--The victim (or in the case of a homicide, the
family of the victim) of a violent crime shall have a Federal cause of
action in any district court against a State if the individual
committing the crime--
(1) previously had been convicted by the State of a violent
offense;
(2) was released from incarceration prior to serving his or
her full sentence for such offense; and
(3) committed the violent crime before the original
sentence would have expired.
(b) Exception.--A State shall not be liable under subsection (a) if
the State requires a violent criminal to be incarcerated for the entire
term of imprisonment to which the criminal is sentenced.
(c) Definition.--As used in this title, the term ''crime of
violence'' has the same meaning as in section 16 of title 18, United
States Code.
(d) Damages.--A State shall be liable to the victim in an action
brought under this title for the actual damages resulting from the
violent crime, but not for punitive damages.
