Bill > AB2092

This bill establishes a statewide Early Childhood Integrated Data System under the State Department of Social Services to connect information across various programs serving children from birth to five years old, aiming to improve access, quality, and equity in early learning and care. To guide this effort, the department will create an Interagency Early Childhood Data Task Force, comprised of representatives from key state agencies and a data privacy expert, which will coordinate the system's development and implementation, conduct analyses of existing data, and advise on data collection and policy. This task force will also be responsible for developing a plan to engage stakeholders and will annually report to the Legislature on the system's progress. The bill also mandates the department to establish agreements for data sharing with several other state entities and to collect specific data points related to children's programs, ensuring that only the minimum necessary data is collected and that strict privacy protections are enforced.
