AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Workforce Development Act to further define key terms such as "aggregated statistical form," "data dashboard," and "new hire database." It gives local workforce development boards access to data from the new hire database, unemployment compensation claimant data, and unemployment compensation wage records to aid in program planning, eligibility assessment, and research. The bill also requires the state's Department of Labor and Industry to develop and maintain a data dashboard to provide data to local boards, offer technical assistance, and establish a framework for the allowable uses and confidentiality of the disclosed information.
