Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 181 clarifies that the Department of Labor and Workforce Development can share information with other state agencies only if there's a written agreement in place. This means that the receiving agency must commit not to disclose the information unless it’s necessary for a specific purpose. This change is important because it protects sensitive information while allowing state agencies to collaborate more effectively when needed.
