Abstract: In 2025, state legislators across the country continued to advance policies that prioritize secure, timely data. Legislators from both sides of the aisle introduced and championed hundreds of bills aimed at ensuring that individuals--students, families, and workers--can access the secure, timely information they need as they navigate their unique journeys through education and the workforce. As changes continue at the federal level, state leaders must, now more than ever, ensure that they have robust data ecosystems. From strengthening early childhood systems to supporting transitions between education and the workforce, these efforts are not only providing answers to questions but also building public trust in the value and security of this data. This resource serves as a roadmap for policymakers and advocates eager to bring these ideas to their own states. As the federal and state policy environments evolve, the need for trustworthy, transparent data remains constant. State policymakers must continue to lead the way, ensuring that every individual has the information necessary to make informed decisions and chart their own path forward.
