This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 44-04 of the North Dakota Century Code that establishes the confidentiality of student applications for admission to institutions of higher education. It stipulates that records related to an individual's application are confidential, with the exception of provisions outlined by law. Additionally, it mandates that these records must be destroyed upon request by the applicant or their parent/guardian if the applicant was under eighteen at the time of submission.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that individuals may not possess confidential records for any purpose other than fulfilling their duties as employees of an institution of higher education. The bill is designated as an emergency measure, indicating its immediate importance and the need for prompt implementation.
