Bill > A06383

This bill amends the New York State education law to allow students to voluntarily participate in an opt-in program that enables them to receive information from nonprofit colleges, scholarship providers, and government agencies about educational opportunities, financial aid, and potential college admissions without revealing their personally identifiable information. Specifically, the bill modifies existing regulations to permit third-party contractors to facilitate these connections, ensuring that students can explore educational options while maintaining their privacy. The opt-in system provides students with a way to learn about potential educational pathways and scholarship opportunities without compromising their personal data, giving them more control over how their information is shared. The amendment is designed to protect student privacy while expanding access to educational information, and the bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
