The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.32, to prohibit the designation of parent contact information as publicly available directory information. Specifically, it removes the provision that allowed data concerning parents to be treated as directory information if certain procedures were followed. Instead, it establishes that a parent's home address, telephone number, email address, or other personal contact information must be treated as private data on individuals and cannot be designated as directory information.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while data concerning parents is generally private, it may still be treated as directory information under specific conditions, excluding personal contact information. The effective date for these changes is set for the day following final enactment, ensuring that any previously designated parent contact information is reclassified as private data. This legislative change aims to enhance the privacy of parents' personal information in educational settings.
