Student Data Protection: Prohibiting use of personal information for voter metrics.
This bill aims to strengthen student privacy protections regarding personally identifiable information held by educational institutions. The changes to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) explicitly prohibit colleges from disclosing any student identifying data, including directory information, for the purpose of measuring voter registration or voting rates. This ensures that your educational records cannot be automatically used for electoral statistics without your explicit knowledge and consent.
Key points
Privacy reinforcement: Educational institutions cannot disclose students' personally identifiable information to measure voter turnout or registration rates.
Explicit consent required: Data can only be shared for voter statistics purposes if the student provides explicit consent, following existing FERPA regulations.
