This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 13.32, to prohibit the designation of parent contact information as publicly available directory information. The amendments clarify that while data concerning parents is generally considered private, it may be treated as directory information under certain conditions. However, the bill explicitly states that a parent's home address, telephone number, email address, or other personal contact information cannot be designated as directory information.

Additionally, the bill establishes that educational agencies or institutions must treat a parent's personal contact information as private data on individuals, effective the day following final enactment. This change ensures that such information is protected, regardless of any previous designations as directory information. The bill aims to enhance the privacy of parents' personal data in educational settings while maintaining necessary communication channels for educational purposes.
