Senate approves statewide data-exchange compact after amendment clarifies data ownership
Summary
Senate Bill 233, sponsored by Senator Mizell, would establish a Louisiana Statewide Data Exchange Compact with privacy guardrails; the sponsor's amendment clarifying that agencies retain ownership of data was adopted and the bill passed (36–1).
Senator Mizell presented Senate Bill 233 as a straightforward attempt, prompted by the Department of Health, to create a statewide data-exchange compact that would permit interagency data sharing while ensuring privacy compliance. Mizell introduced an amendment to clarify that an agency retains ownership of any data it shares under the compact, saying the amendment "was put in place to clarify that an agency ... retains the ownership rights of any data shared by the agency pursuant to the compact."
The amendment was adopted without objection and the sponsor asked for final passage. After the vote the secretary announced 36 yeas and 1 nay; the bill is recorded as passed. On the floor, Mizell framed the measure as providing "guardrails" while allowing agencies to obtain needed data in a privacy-compliant fashion through the Office of Information Systems.
The transcript includes the sponsor's summary and the amendment language explained on the floor; the precise statutory text and any privacy or technical standards will be confirmed in the bill language and legislative bureau note.
