Except as provided in subsection (b), the Attorney General shall establish and maintain a public website which shall include pertinent information, as determined by the Attorney General, for each gun offender required to register under this Act. The website shall provide a search function for the public to obtain information for each gun offender by a single query for any given zip code or geographical radius set by the user in a form and with such limitations as may be established by the Attorney General and shall have such other field search capabilities as the Attorney General may provide.
The Attorney General shall exempt from disclosure— the identity of any victim of a gun offense; the Social Security number of the gun offender; any reference to arrests of the gun offender that did not result in conviction; any information about a gun offender’s prior criminal history other than a specified violent crime that prompted the offender’s duty to register in accordance with this Act; the name of an employer of the gun offender; the name of an educational institution where the gun offender is a student; and any other information exempted from disclosure by the Attorney General.
The Attorney General shall ensure that at the conclusion of the period described in section 1507 during which a gun offender is required to register, no information related to the gun offender, including the gun offender’s identity, is accessible on the website established under this section.
