Proposed law provides that the LSDEC shall facilitate the disclosure of confidential information and set forth each participating agency's rights and obligations regarding such information, including the limited purposes for which each agency may use or have access to confidential information.

Proposed law defines "agency", "data exchange", and "Louisiana Statewide Data Exchange Compact".

Proposed law requires the office of technology services to serve as the administrator for LSDEC and develop a template for the LSDEC.

Proposed law requires the office of technology services to establish a committee of participating agencies to advise the office on the LSDEC and provide input on the establishment of the template.

Proposed law further requires the LSDEC to review the compact at least twice per year to ensure alignment with changes in state and federal law and developments in data security practices and report any recommended changes to the template or any rules to the office of technology services.

Proposed law provides that participation in the LSDEC is voluntary and authorizes each participating agency, at any time, to make the determination that continued use of the LSDEC is no longer appropriatefor the specific data and to amend its agreement, terminate its participation, or pursue an alternative method to protect data shared bythe agency.

Proposed law requires participating agencies to sign the LSDEC, which shall serve as the primary governance document for safeguarding data shared among agencies.
