AI Summary
This bill modifies data access provisions related to veterans' services, specifically allowing the commissioner of veterans affairs to electronically access the MAXIS database (a human services information system) maintained by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. The bill expands the purpose of database access beyond verifying eligibility for the State Soldiers Assistance Program to include the Veterans Stable Housing Initiative and other veterans programs. Additionally, the bill requires that the commissioner obtain informed consent from individuals before accessing their private data. The changes aim to help veterans more effectively connect with state and federal resources by enabling easier verification of eligibility and potential support services. The bill updates terminology from "Human Services" to "Children, Youth, and Families" and provides a clear framework for data access that protects individual privacy while facilitating veterans' access to necessary support programs.
