Bill > HF3110

This bill amends Minnesota's government data practices law to allow limited disclosure of private student personal contact information in three specific scenarios. The bill permits school districts to share a student's name, home address, telephone number, email address, or other personal contact information with (1) public libraries to help issue library cards, (2) elected state officials who want to send congratulatory letters, and (3) approved school photographers who wish to send solicitations for senior portraits. The modification expands the existing list of exceptions to the general rule that student personal information must remain private. This change provides schools with more flexibility in sharing certain student contact details while still maintaining overall protections for student privacy. The bill is an amendment to Minnesota Statutes section 13.32, subdivision 3, which governs the handling of educational data, and it aims to facilitate specific communications that could be beneficial to students while maintaining reasonable safeguards around personal information.
