Agencies of the state government shall cooperate with the commission as necessary for the commission to carry out its responsibilities. Upon the request of the commission, each agency and department of the state shall make its services, equipment, personnel, facilities, and information available to the greatest practicable extent to the commission in the execution of its functions without cost to the commission. The commission shall have access to all offender records maintained by other state departments and agencies, including, but not limited to, the Department of Corrections, the Board of Pardons and Paroles, the Administrative Office of Courts, and the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center. All offender information received by the commission shall remain subject to the confidentiality requirements of the department or agency providing the information. The commission, however, may release non-identifying offender information for statistical and analysis purposes. When possible, information shall be provided to the commission electronically.
