| contents | Confidentiality of Research and Statistical Data. A Compendium of State Legislation. Knerr, Charles Confidential Records Confidentiality Disclosure Information Dissemination Medical Research Privacy Researchers Scientific Research State Legislation State Surveys Statistical Data During the first half of 1977, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) initiated a survey of State laws pertaining to the privacy and security of research and statistical information. Two data collection procedures were employed: a library search of State Statutes, and written inquiries to State Attorneys General and to other State officials. Survey findings are summarized alphabetically by state in three tables: (1) examples of statutes which permit special access by researchers to administrative information, subject to limitations on what the researchers may do with the data; (2) examples of State laws that place restrictions directly on a governmental agency maintaining records, usually restricting the agency's ability to release the information in identifiable form or for certain specified purposes; and (3) examples of statutes providing for researcher "immunity" against forced release of identifiable data. A compendium of relevant State statutes follows. The survey findings are tentative--a number of State legislatures are currently formulating privacy and security legislation and several States indicated that they could not be certain that all relevant State laws had been identified.
