An Act relating to disclosure of information obtained by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development to other state agencies.

SB 181 amends Alaska Statute 23.20.110(r) to clarify rules for the Department of Labor and Workforce Development sharing data with other state agencies. It requires that disclosures must be authorized under federal rules (20 C.F.R. 603), limited to specific purposes like statewide workforce statistics (per AS 14.42.035) or program evaluation/research, and accompanied by a written agreement with the receiving agency. The bill directly affects the Department of Labor (as the data holder) and state agencies receiving data (such as the University of Alaska), requiring formal agreements to govern further sharing. Key provisions mandate that any subsequent disclosure must align with the original purpose (workforce statistics or research) and require additional written agreements between agencies. This focuses on procedural transparency without altering data collection or creating new programs.
