Requiring the secretary for children and families and the secretary of health and environment to execute a memorandum of understanding, data use agreement or other written data-sharing instrument upon written request of the United States department of agriculture or the United States department of health and human services and comply with data requests from such federal agencies.

SB 428 requires Kansas' Secretary for Children and Families and Secretary of Health and Environment to create formal data-sharing agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) or U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) upon written request. These agreements would enable the state to share relevant data with federal agencies to support programs like food assistance (USDA) and healthcare (HHS). The bill mandates that state secretaries comply with written data requests from federal agencies within 30 days after such agreements are in place. This bill directly affects Kansas state agencies that administer public assistance programs and federal agencies managing national benefit programs.
