AI Summary

  • Establishes the Georgia Data Analytic Center (GDAC) as a legal agent of all executive state agencies for purposes of sharing and receiving government information, making it an authorized receiver under applicable statutory and administrative law.

  • Defines "executive state agency" broadly to include any agency, authority, board, bureau, commission, department, division, office, or other unit of the executive branch, but excludes the legislative and judicial branches, political subdivisions, the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, and the Board of Regents.

  • Defines "government information" as any information created, received, maintained, or stored by an executive state agency in any form, but excludes law enforcement investigative records, confidential ongoing investigation records, and confidential advisory opinions from the inspector general.

  • Specifies that interagency and intra-agency data sharing through GDAC does not constitute a public disclosure or release, and confidential or privileged information received by GDAC remains protected from disclosure, including under Georgia's Open Records Act (Code Sections 50-18-70 and 50-18-72).

  • Requires the Attorney General's review of data-sharing refusals to include the agency's stated reason why data cannot be transmitted to GDAC in its capacity as an agent of that agency; effective upon the Governor's approval.
