The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.32, subdivision 5, to allow certain elected officials and business entities to access personal student or parent contact information. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that permit educational agencies or institutions to share this information with members of the state legislature or state constitutional officers for noncampaign correspondence, as well as with business entities for the purpose of providing or advertising educational and professional services related to the needs of students and parents.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing protections regarding the designation of directory information, ensuring that personal contact information such as home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses cannot be designated as directory information, except for postsecondary institutions. The bill emphasizes compliance with federal law regarding the handling of educational data and the rights of parents and students to refuse the designation of certain data as directory information.
