HD 1421 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to workforce data accessibility

This bill amends Massachusetts law to improve how workforce development data is shared between government agencies and private organizations. It allows the state director to provide collected information to federal, state, and local entities for purposes such as evaluating program performance, preparing required reports, and coordinating services. Additionally, the bill requires the department to create a standard application process and set clear rules for approving or denying data disclosure requests within a specific timeframe. These changes aim to streamline data access for agencies working together to deliver workforce development services while maintaining oversight on how the information is used.
