Bill > HF1222

This bill amends Minnesota's data privacy laws to allow schools to release a student's home address to school-age child care programs for the specific purpose of mailing program information. Currently, schools are prohibited from designating a student's home address as directory information, which means such information is generally kept private. The new provision creates a narrow exception that permits schools to share a student's home address with school-age child care programs, defined under Minnesota Statutes as programs providing care and supervision for school-aged children before and after school hours. However, the bill includes an important safeguard: the child care program receiving the address is strictly forbidden from sharing the student's information further or using it for any purpose other than mailing program information. This change aims to help school-age child care programs communicate directly with families about their services while maintaining strong protections for student personal data.
