           SUMMARY  

          This bill allows the Employment Development Department (EDD) to  
          share wage data with the California Department of Corrections  
          (CDCR) to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs.

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          Minor costs to EDD, likely under $50,000 annually, to the extent  
          CDCR requests wage data, will be reimbursed by CDCR (GF).  

           COMMENTS  

          1)Purpose  . According to the author, providing CDCR with access  
            to wage and employment data of former inmates will allow the  
            department to assess which rehabilitation programs are  
            successful in preparing inmates for future employment. 

           2)Background  . Existing law allows the use of unemployment data  
            for enumerated purposes.  EDD has multiple agreements with  
            different government agencies to provide information relating  
            to employee, wage, and employer information.  Requestors of  
            EDD data are required to reimburse the EDD for all  
            confidential information provided.
