ULCT and Office of Data Privacy coordinating implementation and guidance for HB 491 privacy requirements
Summary
ULCT reported productive conversations with the Office of Data Privacy on implementing HB 491; the office will provide forms, a privacy program framework and likely extend deadlines for municipal privacy policies.
ULCT staff reported that the Office of Data Privacy (website referenced in the meeting) has held productive conversations with municipal representatives about HB 491 implementation and that the office is likely to provide templates and an extended compliance deadline to ease municipal workload.
What members should know: The Office of Data Privacy will publish a privacy program framework and forms to help municipalities create required privacy policies. ULCT staff recommended that cities review the framework with their police and IT departments because many operational implications involve public-safety data and police systems.
Why it matters: HB 491 imposes privacy-related responsibilities on public entities; centralized forms and a framework should reduce administrative burden and the likelihood of inconsistent local approaches.
Ending: Staff asked members to review the Office of Data Privacy’s framework and to coordinate internally with police and IT staff; ULCT will continue to work with the office on outstanding items and anticipated bill text.
