When an agency has an approved information sharing agreement, it can share personal information within the agency. This means one part of the agency can share personal information with another part of the same agency. The agency must follow the rules of the agreement when sharing this information.

You can find more information about this by looking at the related law from 1993. The agency will make sure to share the information in accordance with the agreement. This helps the agency to work together and share information when needed.
