Summary

The bill authorizes the governing board of the Maryland Longitudinal Data System Center to provide individual‑level student and workforce data to external, FedRAMP‑authorized data centers for multistate reporting. Each third‑party must meet rigorous security standards, limit use of personally identifiable information, and sign a written data‑sharing agreement that the Center reviews each year. The legislation also removes the Center’s prior authority to share data with the U.S. Census Bureau.
