Bill > HB0124

This bill creates new privacy protections for employees of local education agencies (LEAs) in Utah, which include administrative and instructional personnel. The bill defines "work-related contact information" broadly, covering phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses, login credentials, and messaging accounts. It prohibits LEAs from selling or transferring an employee's contact information as a standalone transaction and requires public disclosure of any records requests for such information. The bill also restricts LEAs from distributing contact information in ways that could interfere with an employee's job duties. Additionally, the bill prevents LEAs from requiring employees to use required technology on personal devices if the technology's terms would allow access to personal data. If an employee objects to such technology, the LEA must provide reasonable accommodations, such as providing a company-owned device, a secure virtual desktop, or alternative access methods. The bill protects employees from adverse actions for requesting these accommodations and allows employees to file complaints with the state board, which is required to investigate and take corrective action if necessary. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
