Establishing a statewide digital transcript data-sharing environment.

HB 2570 creates a secure statewide digital system for schools and colleges to share student transcripts electronically. Public high schools, colleges, tribal schools, and state-tribal education schools must use this system, which requires student or parent consent for data sharing (and allows revocation). The system eliminates the need for individual data-sharing agreements between institutions and enables two-way transcript exchanges. Private colleges may join voluntarily, while the School Information Processing Cooperative manages the system’s standards and security.
