Interim study to examine barriers to and benefits of data sharing between the State Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services for purposes of the Early Childhood Integrated Data System

This legislative resolution (LR 205) directs Nebraska's Education Committee to study barriers and benefits of sharing data between the State Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services. The study will examine the Early Childhood Integrated Data System's current use, statutory obstacles to data sharing, privacy procedures, infrastructure needs, and comparable systems in other states. It does not create new policy but aims to inform future decisions about improving data coordination for early childhood services. The resolution is procedural and has not yet resulted in any legislative action.
