What this law does
The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education may keep a database of information it receives under AS 14.42.035, AS 14.42.030(e)(7) and (8), and AS 23.20.110, for the purpose of compiling statewide workforce and education-related statistics.
The commission must remove personally identifiable information, including first name, last name, middle name, social security number, student identification number, residential address and mailing address, before placing information in that database, but it need not remove the month or year of birth. The commission may not provide unit records to the federal government under subsection (b), and a unit record means information pertaining to an individual.
Subsections (b) to (d) were added by section 2 of House Bill 221 of the Thirtieth Alaska State Legislature, enacted as chapter 32, SLA 2018, which took effect immediately under AS 01.10.070(c); the Legislature's bill history records as the law's effective date.
