2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 23:75 — Report card; data exchange agreements; data distribution; personal identification prohibited
§75. Report card; data exchange agreements; data distribution; personal identification prohibited
A. For the report card information component of the system, there shall be user-friendly formatted, objective factual performance information on training programs, including statistical information on placement rates, and other relevant data.
B. For the purpose of facilitating the objectives of this Part, public and private agencies engaged in, or responsible for, workforce development activities shall enter into interagency reciprocal data exchange agreements. Such agreements shall provide for automated record linkage and follow-up. To facilitate this process, each agency with workforce development data shall assign to each individual receiving its services a unique identifier to be used to link disparate data bases.
C.(1) Interagency data shall be distributed in a protected manner and in such a way so as not to permit the personal identification of any individual. If data is exchanged electronically on magnetic media, individually identifiable and firm-specific information shall be encrypted. Individually identifiable and firm-specific information shall be unencrypted during the file linkages performed in the computer systems' core memory. While in the possession of other agencies, all files containing personally identifiable and firm-specific information shall be stored in a secure environment.
(2) Data shall be exchanged only under strictly controlled conditions. It shall be destroyed after all legitimate uses have been made of it. Secondary release of confidential or privacy-protected data or use other than as authorized by this Part shall be strictly prohibited.
(3) In addition to any other civil or criminal penalties, any person found in violation of this Subsection shall be fined not less than five hundred dollars nor more than two thousand dollars for each offense.
D. This component of the system shall be developed so that it may be available for access on the World Wide Web no later than January 1, 2000.
