Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
No selling or ads with student data
Starting July 1, 2026, vendors cannot sell student data. They also cannot use student data for targeted advertising. A company may market its product to a parent only if it did not use student data shared by or collected for the school to do that marketing.
Personalized learning allowed with guardrails
Starting July 1, 2026, vendors can use student data to personalize learning and keep apps working well. They may suggest learning or job content if no one paid them to promote it. They may help match students to nonprofit colleges or scholarships using non‑identity criteria, but only with written permission (from a parent through the school for minors, or from the adult student).
Stronger school data contracts and oversight
Beginning July 1, 2026, schools must build strong privacy terms into vendor contracts. Contractors may use student data only to deliver the contracted service and must follow the contract. Contracts must list who data may be shared with, allow school‑requested deletion, let schools audit the vendor, and, if the school requires it, ban secondary uses of identifiable data. When a contract ends and is not renewed, the vendor must return or delete student‑identifying data unless a parent gives written consent to keep it. If a school discovers an unlawful data use, it must notify the vendor within 30 days and end the contract if the problem is not fixed and prevented; vendors cannot charge fees or seek damages for that termination. Student data may transfer in a company sale or merger only if the vendor stays in full compliance.
State privacy oversight and exceptions
Beginning July 1, 2026, anyone can report suspected privacy violations to the State Board’s student data privacy team. The team reviews reports and can audit or investigate if the report is credible. The board also provides guidance materials to help vendors follow the rules. Contractors must share student data with law enforcement when a law or court order requires it. The law does not cover general‑audience apps, directory information disclosures under federal rules, internet service providers, or require some platforms to enforce these rules. A parent or an adult student may give written permission to waive parts of these protections for that student’s data.
