HF 2538: Relating to state agency strategic planning and data collection

Signed into law

What it does

This bill authorizes the department of management (DOM) to create guidance and guidelines to administer the accountable government Act (Code chapter 8E). The bill requires agencies to share records and data with DOM as necessary for enterprise-wide initiatives, planning or policy development, cross-agency collaboration, and performance or risk assessments. DOM must maintain the confidentiality of records shared by an agency and is subject to the same penalties as the lawful custodian for the unlawful dissemination of the information, records, or data.
