A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO DEPARTMENTAL DATA SHARING.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The legislature further finds that data currently collected by state educational systems and workforce training agencies does not include information from certain segments of Hawaiiꞌs workforce, such as those who are self-employed. This leaves the current workforce data incomplete. Gathering data from the tax filings of those who are self-employed will provide a more accurate analysis of the State's workforce.
The purpose of this Act is to include the department of taxation and department of business, economic development, and tourism in the departmental data sharing through the statewide longitudinal data system to allow for a more accurate analysis of the State's workforce.
SECTION 2. Section 27-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

Data to be shared shall be determined jointly by the relevant agencies and shall be shared no less than annually.

Sir and Madam:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEPARTMENTAL DATA SHARING,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Add the Department of Taxation and Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to the list of state agencies required to share data and determine the data to be shared through the Statewide Longitudinal Data System; and
(2) Require data shared by the Department of Taxation or Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to be aggregated or anonymized.
Your Committee on Conference finds that the Statewide Longitudinal Data System collects and analyzes data from state agencies to support policies for improved outcomes throughout the early education to workforce pipeline. Your Committee on Conference further finds, however, that the System suffers critical knowledge gaps relating to certain segments of the State's workforce, such as the self-employed. Therefore, this measure enhances the System by including data from the Department of Taxation and Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to support better research and evaluation efforts.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2025; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

Madame:
Your Committee on Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEPARTMENTAL DATA SHARING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Include the Department of Taxation and Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism in the list of state agencies sharing data through the statewide longitudinal data system; and
(2) Authorize the Department of Taxation to share certain wage data with the University of Hawaii and other state agencies.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Taxation; University of Hawaiʻi System; and Hawaiʻi P-20 Partnerships for Education. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism; and Tax Foundation of Hawaii.
Your Committee finds that data currently collected by state educational systems and workforce training agencies does not include information from certain segments of the State's workforce, including those who are self-employed. This leaves the current workforce data incomplete. Your Committee further finds that gathering data from tax filings of those who are self‑employed, as provided by the Department of Taxation, will provide a more accurate analysis of Hawaii's workforce. This measure will help formulate better policy while ensuring safeguards for privacy and confidentiality.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring the data shared by the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism, to be aggregated or anonymized; and
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

RE: S.B. No. 1491
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor and Technology, to which was referred S.B. No. 1491 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEPARTMENTAL DATA SHARING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to:
(1) Add the Department of Taxation to the list of state agencies required to share data and determine the data to be shared through the Statewide Longitudinal Data System to support research and evaluation that will improve outcomes throughout the early education to workforce pipeline; and
(2) Require the data shared by the Department of Taxation to be aggregated or anonymized.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the University of Hawaiʻi System, Department of Taxation, and Hawaiʻi P-20 Partnerships for Education.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Tax Foundation of Hawaii.
Your Committee finds that data sharing is a powerful informational tool to track efficiency, progress, and outcomes between departments within the government, allowing for more effective policymaking. However, the State's existing Longitudinal Data System does not require the participation of certain key departments, leaving gaps in the information that can be gathered and utilized. This measure expands the statewide data-sharing system to include the Department of Taxation as a participant to allow for a more accurate analysis of the state's workforce.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Adding the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to the list of state agencies required to share data and determine the data to be shared through the Statewide Longitudinal Data System;
(2) Inserting an effective data of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion;
(3) Amending section 1 to reflect its amended purpose; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1491, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1491, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor and Technology,
