Abstract: Each year, state legislators craft new policies that drive data use across their states, and as part of a comprehensive review of state education data legislation, the Data Quality Campaign (DQC) keeps track. In 2022, state legislators introduced 131 bills in 35 states--42 of which became law in 17 states-- that would govern the use of data along the early childhood to workforce continuum. This year's data-related bills addressed two realities: (1) people need data; and (2) to understand and address emerging issues, state leaders have new data needs and policy goals. This report discusses practices that are encouraging to include, areas in which to proceed with caution, and provisions to avoid because they will prevent legislators from meeting their goals. The report also includes suggested next steps for legislators. [For the 2021 report, see ED622554.]
