Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission may study the extent to which confidentiality requirements set out in State and federal laws and regulations act as a barrier to the State meeting human services needs.  In the course of its study, the Commission shall consider the ways that other states meet the human services needs of their citizens without compromising privacy rights or violating legal requirements.  The Commission shall also consider whether State laws or regulations should be amended to facilitate the delivery of  human services and whether the State should memorialize the Congress to amend federal laws or regulations to facilitate the delivery of human services.
The Legislative Research Commission may report the results of its study to the 1994 Session of the 1993 General Assembly or to the 1995 General Assembly.
Sec. 2.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
