Assembly Bill 909 establishes a joint legislative committee called the Data Efficiency Study Steering Committee, tasked with conducting a comprehensive study of interagency data sharing practices within Wisconsin state government. The committee will consist of members appointed by legislative leaders and representatives from the Department of Revenue and the Department of Administration. The committee will contract a qualified nonstate firm to assess existing frameworks, identify barriers to data sharing, review best practices from other states, and recommend actionable steps to enhance data management and analytics across state agencies.

The bill mandates that the steering committee submit a report by December 31, 2026, detailing the findings and recommendations from the study, including proposed legislative or administrative actions needed for implementation. The committee will dissolve after submitting the report. The study aims to improve efficiency and collaboration in data sharing, potentially leading to the establishment of a chief data officer or an enterprise-wide data office, as well as the creation of standardized templates for consumer-facing websites of state agencies.
