			 equipment used by agencies to access LEADS/NCIC to assure the criminal justice
			 agency has management control. This includes regional dispatch centers as a
			 cooperative effort entered into by political subdivisions in a particular area

			 ordinance for such officers.
(4) A
			 nongovernmental agency or subunit thereof which allocates a substantial part of
			 its annual budget (more than fifty per cent) to the administration of criminal
			 justice. The agency may have access to files, except criminal history record
			 information, provided such access is approved by LEADS.
(5) A governmental or nongovernmental
			 regional dispatch center, which provides communication services to criminal
			 justice agencies may be authorized access to files. Such centers shall be
			 required to execute an agreement with each criminal justice agency it serves
			 and with LEADS assuring compliance with all duly promulgated LEADS
			 rules.
(6) The national insurance
			 crime bureau (NICB), a nongovernmental, nonprofit agency, which acts as a
			 national clearinghouse for information on stolen vehicles and offers free

			 to the LEADS and NCIC vehicle and license plate files and to the NCIC boat
			 files.

			 governmental bureau of motor vehicles (BMV) or division of motor vehicles
			 (DMV), established by a state statute, which provides vehicle registration and
			 driver record information to criminal justice agencies and has an essential
			 need to access the license plate and vehicle files may be authorized to
			 participate in LEADS, excepting criminal history record information. Such
			 registry shall be required to execute an agreement with LEADS assuring
