FISCAL NOTE
The fiscal impact, in the form of increased expenditures, is indeterminable, but
could be significant.
The Dept. of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) has determined that it will be
difficult to estimate an accurate cost to ETS. This bill requires agencies to
delete and deidentify data, which can be costly, especially to legacy systems
that do not currently have that functionality. It is unknown how many systems or
at what total cost it would take to upgrade. ETS is unable to determine a
reasonable estimate at this time.
According to the Dept. of Workforce Services (DWS), the duties proposed in W.S.
9-21-202(c) requiring an investigation has the potential to require additional
personnel and expenditures, which are indeterminable at this time.
According to the Department of Family Services (DFS), costs associated with
deleting and de-identifying data remain uncertain. To comply with federal data
retention requirements for various DFS programs, it will be necessary for DFS to
develop policies that extend data retention beyond the three-year period. This
extension is crucial for ensuring federal compliance and enabling longitudinal
analysis of case information.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department anticipates a total expenditure increase of
$2,305 due to the staff time required to develop policies and practices to be in
compliance with the bill. Policy development and a request to retain personal
data beyond three years for hunting and fishing licensing history, law
enforcement purposes and hunting preference point data is expected to take
approximately 38 hours of administrative time at an hourly rate of $60.66.
The Dept. of Education (WDE) indicates that this bill would require WDE to
investigate data validity claims from residents. The bill also requires policies
regarding the collection, access, retention, security, and use of personal data.
The WDE will meet the requirements of the bill with existing resources.
According to the Dept. of Health (DOH), the duties associated with this bill can
be incorporated into the routine process by existing personnel. The DOH will
draft additional policies into its privacy and security policies where needed to
ensure compliance.
The Governor’s Office, the Secretary of State’s Office, the State Auditor’s
Office, the Dept. of Administration & Information, the Attorney General’s Office,
the Dept. of Transportation, the State Engineer’s Office, the Laramie County
District Attorney’s Office, the Public Defender’s Office and the Laramie County
District Attorney’s Office indicated the bill would have no significant fiscal or
personnel impact to their agency. Data privacy-government entities.25LSO-0088, 1.0
