Senate Bill No. 1520 amends the Freedom of Information Act specifically regarding the disclosure of education records. The bill repeals the existing language in subdivision (17) of subsection (b) of section 1-210 of the general statutes, which previously referred to "Educational" records, and replaces it with "Education" records. This change is intended to clarify the terminology used in the law.

Additionally, the bill specifies that education records that are not subject to disclosure must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), as revised to January 3, 2012. This amendment is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to ensure that the handling of education records aligns with federal privacy standards while updating the language for clarity.
