LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 433, as amended, Mendoza. Developmental services: data exchange.

Existing law authorizes the Franchise Tax Board to disclose tax information to various entities for specified purposes. Existing law provides that the release or other use of information received by a state governmental licensing entity pursuant to these provisions, except as authorized, is punishable as a misdemeanor.

Existing law creates the Employment Development Department in the Labor and Workforce Development Agency and vests it with certain functions, including job creation and computation of the amount and duration of benefits. Existing law authorizes the Employment Development Department to provide specified information to specific agencies subject to any restrictions imposed by state and federal law. Existing law establishes the Employment First Policy, which is the policy that opportunities for integrated, competitive employment be given the highest priority for ~~working age~~ working-age individuals with developmental disabilities, regardless of the severity of their disabilities.

This bill would authorize the Franchise Tax Board to disclose specified information to the State Department of Developmental Services, upon request, through information sharing agreements or data interfaces to verify potential eligibility for the California Earned Income Tax Credit and assist the State Department of Developmental Services to support consumers in the application process. By expanding a crime under these provisions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

This bill would authorize the Employment Development Department to disclose specified information to the State Department of Developmental Services, upon request, through ~~information sharing~~ information-sharing agreements or data interfaces to assist the State Department of Developmental Services in the implementation of the Employment First Policy and to support consumers in the achievement of competitive integrated employment.
