Bill summary

Amends GS 116E-1 by removing the term Center (meaning the Governmental Data Analytics Center) and replacing it with Board, meaning the governing board of the North Carolina Longitudinal Data System. Makes conforming changes to GS 116E-4 by giving the Center's powers to the Board. Makes additional conforming changes to GS 116E-6. Amends the definition of de-identified data so that it no longer includes a unique student identifier.

Amends the membership of the North Carolina Longitudinal Data System Board (Board) by allowing the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services' position to be filled by a Secretary designee affiliated with the Division of Child Development, and allowing the State Chief Information Officer's position to be filled by a designee of the officer affiliated with the Government Data Analytics Center. Instead of making the State Chief Information Officer the chair, requires that the Board elect a chair from the appointed members for a term of two years.

Reenacts GS 120‑123(81), GS 143B‑1321(a)(31), and GS 143B‑1322(c)(21) as they existed immediately before their repeal.

Requires the Board to adopt rules under GS 116E‑4 by December 1, 2017.
