A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO DEPARTMENTAL DATA SHARING.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The legislature further finds that data currently collected by state educational systems and workforce training agencies does not include information from certain segments of Hawaiiꞌs workforce, such as those who are self-employed. This leaves the current workforce data incomplete. Gathering data from the tax filings of those who are self-employed will provide a more accurate analysis of the State's workforce.
The purpose of this Act is to include the department of taxation and department of business, economic development, and tourism in the departmental data sharing to allow for a more accurate analysis of the State's workforce.
SECTION 2. Section 27-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§27-7
Departmental data sharing. (a)
The department of education[,];
the executive office on early learning[,]; the [University]
university of Hawaii[,]; the department of labor and
industrial relations[,]; the department of human services[,];
the department of taxation; the department of business, economic development,
and tourism; and other state agencies, as appropriate, shall share data
through the statewide longitudinal data system to support research and
evaluation that will improve outcomes throughout the early education to
workforce pipeline. The data to be
shared shall be determined jointly by the department of education[,];
the executive office on early learning[,]; the [University]
university of Hawaii[,]; the department of labor and
industrial relations[,]; the department of human services[,];
the department of taxation; the department of business, economic development,
and tourism; and other state agencies, as appropriate, and shall be shared
no less than annually[.]; provided that any data provided by the department
of business, economic development, and tourism and department of taxation shall
also be aggregated or anonymized.
(b) The
department of education[,]; the executive office on early
learning[,]; the [University] university of Hawaii[,];
the department of labor and industrial relations[,]; the
department of human services[,]; the department of taxation; the
department of business, economic development, and tourism; and other state
agencies, as appropriate, shall share data in a manner that safeguards the
confidentiality of student education records, as defined by the federal Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and workforce data, as provided by
applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations.
(c) The statewide longitudinal data system shall store and analyze career and technical education data it receives from all state educational systems and workforce training agencies pursuant to section 304A-304 to analyze the cross-agency longitudinal education and workforce outcomes of students who attempted an educational course, training program, career program, postsecondary program, or other state-supported workforce training program. Data to be shared shall be determined jointly by the relevant agencies and shall be shared no less than annually.
(d) All
data shared by or with the department of human services[,]; department
of taxation; department of business, economic development, and tourism;
department of education[,]; public charter school authorizers[,];
public charter schools[,]; executive office on early learning[,];
and other entities as required by statute shall be subject to any state or
federal laws and any administrative rule regarding privacy adopted by the
department or agency that collected the data.
(e) The
department of education[,]; the executive office on early
learning[,]; the [University] university of Hawaii[,];
the department of labor and industrial relations[,]; the
department of human services[,]; the department of taxation; the
department of business, economic development, and tourism; and other state
agencies, as appropriate, shall partner to collectively govern the statewide
longitudinal data system and determine protocols to:
(1) Prioritize analyses and research questions that will provide information to improve educational and workforce outcomes and policies; and
(2) Approve
requests for access to data provided by the department of education[,];
the executive office on early learning[,]; the [University]
university of Hawaii[,]; the department of labor and
industrial relations[,]; the department of human services[,];
the department of taxation; the department of business, economic development,
and tourism; and other state agencies, as appropriate.
(f) All state agency directors shall consider sharing data for the statewide longitudinal data system."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4.
This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
