(1) The general assembly hereby finds that:
(a) Each agency of the state, through the process of providing governmental services, collects a significant amount of data with regard to persons who have interactions with governmental agencies;
(b) Creating cross-departmental data interoperability and protocols used by all state executive branch agencies will significantly increase the efficiency of state government and enhance the ability of multiple state agencies to effectively and efficiently provide services to individuals within the state;
(c) The data collected through the provision of governmental services, if appropriately collected and synthesized, will provide valuable information to guide members of the general assembly and persons within the state executive branch agencies in formulating state policy and in determining the effectiveness of state policies;
(d) It is imperative in establishing procedures and protocols for cross-departmental data processing that the state take all possible measures to ensure personal privacy and protect personal information from intentional or accidental release to unauthorized persons and from intentional or accidental use for unauthorized purposes.
(2) The general assembly therefore concludes that it is in the best interests of the state to create an interdepartmental data protocol to assist in formulating and determining the effectiveness of state policies.
