IDEA (Interstate Data Exchange Agreement)

The Interstate Data Exchange Agreement (IDEA) is a collaborative framework that allows states in the U.S. to share important information and data. This agreement is often used for various purposes, including public health, law enforcement, and other government functions. By enabling states to exchange data, IDEA helps improve efficiency, enhance decision-making, and ensure that agencies have access to accurate and timely information. This cooperation can lead to better services for citizens and more effective responses to issues that cross state lines.
