Managing Arson Through Criminal History (MATCH) Act of 2010

Summary

Managing Arson Through Criminal History (MATCH) Act of 2009 - Requires jurisdictions (i.e., states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories and possessions, and federally recognized Indian tribes) to establish and maintain jurisdiction-wide criminal arsonist and bomber registries and make such registries available on the Internet. Requires a criminal arsonist or bomber (an individual convicted of an arson or bombing offense) to register in each jurisdiction in which such arsonist or bomber resides, is an employee, or is a student and to keep such registration current. Sets forth other registration requirements and the information required to be provided in a registry by the criminal arsonist or bomber and jurisdictions. Requires jurisdictions to provide law enforcement and fire safety officials access to information in their registries on the Internet, with certain mandatory and optional exemptions. Requires the Attorney General to: (1) maintain a national database at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) (to be known as the National Criminal Arsonist and Criminal Bomber Registry) and a national arsonist and bomber Internet site containing information on each criminal arsonist or bomber registered in a jurisdiction's registry or listed on a jurisdiction's Internet site, respectively; and (2) develop and support software to enable jurisdictions to establish and operate registries and Internet sites. Directs the Attorney General to establish and implement a Criminal Arsonist and Bomber Management Assistance program for awarding grants to jurisdictions to offset the costs of implementing this Act.
