Summary
Crime Identification Technology Act of 1998 - Directs the Attorney General, through the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), to make a grant to each State, to be used in conjunction with local governments, State and local courts, and other States, to establish or upgrade an integrated approach to develop information and identification technologies and systems to: (1) upgrade criminal history and criminal justice record systems; (2) improve criminal justice identification; (3) promote compatibility and integration of national, State, and local systems for criminal justice purposes, firearms eligibility determinations, identification of sexual offenders and domestic violence offenders, and background checks for other authorized purposes; and (4) capture information for statistical and research purposes to improve criminal justice administration. Sets forth permissible grant uses, such as for programs to establish, develop, update, or upgrade: (1) State centralized, automated, adult and juvenile criminal history record information systems; (2) automated fingerprint identification systems that are compatible with standards established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and interoperable with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System; (3) ballistics identification and information programs that are compatible and integrated with the National Integrated Ballistics Network; and (4) DNA programs for forensic and identification purposes. Requires a State, to be eligible to receive such a grant, to provide assurances to the Attorney General that the State has the capability to contribute pertinent information to the national instant criminal background check system established under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. Authorizes appropriations, subject to specified limitations on the percent of funds that may be used for salaries and administrative expenses, and for technical assistance, training and evaluations, and BJS-commissioned studies. Requires the Attorney General to ensure the amounts are distributed on an equitable geographic basis.
