Bill > S03392

This bill, known as the "one city act," applies to cities with a population of one million or more and allows government agencies within these cities to share personal information about individuals, which would normally be restricted, with other agencies or their authorized representatives (agents). This sharing is strictly for the purpose of providing benefits, services, or care coordination to individuals, or for research studies related to these services. "Benefits" are defined as assistance for basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare, while "services" include functions like educational outreach. "Care coordination" refers to managing these benefits and services. The bill emphasizes that this data sharing must be governed by a written agreement that includes safeguards for privacy and cybersecurity, limits access to only those who need it for their job functions, and prohibits unauthorized redisclosure of the information. Importantly, this act does not permit the sharing of personal information for law enforcement investigations.
