Bill > SB01250

This bill implements several changes to improve data sharing and coordination across higher education and workforce development systems in Connecticut. It renames the Connecticut Preschool through Twenty and Workforce Information Network (CP20 WIN) to P20 WIN and updates its governance structure, with the Office of Policy and Management serving as the administrator. The bill requires public higher education institutions to submit data to the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and to the P20 WIN, with strict protections to ensure no personally identifiable student information is disclosed. Regional workforce development boards must now submit performance and outcome data to the P20 WIN, and the Chief Workforce Officer can request data analyses. Additionally, the bill directs the University of Connecticut and Board of Regents to review and update policies concerning accounts receivable holds for incarcerated students to ensure they can enroll in postsecondary education programs without unnecessary delays. The legislation aims to create more integrated and efficient data sharing across state agencies, with a focus on improving education and workforce development strategies while maintaining strict data privacy protections.
