Bill Summary
This bill establishes the Statewide Longitudinal Data System for Education and Workforce Development. The system is established to maintain linked longitudinal data to inform policy and decisions concerning the improvement of quality of life, education, and employment opportunities for residents of the State. The system would be overseen and maintained by the Statewide Longitudinal Data System Governing Body, which would consist of one representative from each of the following State agencies: the Department of Education, the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, and the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Each participating agency is required pursuant to the bill to provide data necessary for the purposes of the data system. Under the bill, the governing body may choose a designee, including but not limited to the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, to maintain the data system. The bill also amends various pieces of State law to authorize the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to provide certain motor vehicle records for the purposes of the data system.
