The Department of State Police shall make the Registry information available, upon request, to criminal justice agencies, including local law-enforcement agencies, through the Virginia Criminal Information Network.

B. The Department of State Police shall also establish a Substantial Risk Order Reporting System for the purpose of tracking and reporting the entry of orders issued pursuant to § 19.2-152.13 or 19.2-152.14 by locality. Such report by locality shall be published quarterly by the Department of State Police and distributed in an electronic format to the General Assembly and the Office of the Governor. The Department of State Police shall remove the names and other personal identifying information from the data before the reports are published.

C. No liability shall be imposed upon any law-enforcement official who disseminates information or fails to disseminate information in good faith compliance with the requirements of this section, but this provision shall not be construed to grant immunity for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
