The bill amends AS 23.20.110(r) to allow the Department of Labor and Workforce Development to share information with other state agencies, specifically including the University of Alaska. The disclosure of this information is permitted under certain conditions, such as compliance with federal regulations and the purpose of supporting statewide workforce and education-related statistics, program evaluation, educational outreach, or public policy research.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for subsequent disclosures of the information. It removes the previous stipulation that subsequent disclosures must only pertain to the statewide workforce and education-related statistics program and introduces broader criteria that include program evaluation and improvement, educational outreach, or public policy research. The receiving agency must still enter into a written agreement with the Department of Labor, ensuring that any further disclosures are also authorized under a written agreement.
