Enact Data Analysis Transparency Archive (DATA) Act
This bill establishes the Office of Data Analytics and Archives within the Secretary of State's office to manage voter registration and election data. It requires state agencies like the Department of Health and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to share specific data with the Secretary of State monthly to help maintain an accurate statewide voter registration database. The legislation also mandates that the office retain, analyze, and publish certain business services data while strictly prohibiting the sale of any information or its use for profit. Additionally, the bill outlines rules for sharing confidential data with other states and authorized organizations for legitimate governmental purposes related to election administration.
