The bill aims to revise laws related to student data privacy in order to facilitate access to postsecondary opportunities. It amends the definition of "K-12 school purposes" to explicitly exclude courses provided for postsecondary credit and work-based learning courses offered by a work-based learning partner. This change is intended to clarify the scope of K-12 online applications and ensure that certain educational programs are not restricted by K-12 data privacy regulations.

Additionally, the bill includes a new section that establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This prompt implementation underscores the urgency of the revisions to enhance student access to educational opportunities beyond K-12 schooling. Overall, the bill seeks to balance the protection of student data with the need for flexibility in educational pathways.
