State Government - Data-Sharing Agreements and Personal Identifying Information - Prohibition and Reporting (Maryland Data Privacy and Federal Shield Act)

Summary

The bill orders the Maryland Attorney General to produce a yearly report identifying all data‑sharing agreements the state or local governments have with the federal government, checking if they meet privacy laws, and suggesting fixes. It also forbids state and local officials from sharing personal identifying information—such as citizenship status, religious affiliation, or biometric data—with federal agencies unless a law or court order demands it, and bars assistance in federal registries based on race, national origin, or religion. The measure aims to protect residents' privacy and increase transparency about state‑federal data exchanges.
