AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 66 of the General Laws to exempt public colleges and universities from being required to produce records defined as "education records" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), including those designated as "directory information" under FERPA. This means that public higher education institutions in the state will not have to disclose certain student information that is typically protected under federal privacy law.
