The bill amends AS 23.20.110(r) to expand the circumstances under which the Department of Labor and Workforce Development can disclose information to other state agencies, specifically including the University of Alaska. The new provisions allow for the sharing of information for purposes related to statewide workforce and education-related statistics, as well as for program evaluation, educational outreach, and 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, provided that the receiving agency has a written agreement with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
