SF 1118 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Parent contact information prohibition from being designated as publicly available directory information

This bill prohibits Minnesota schools from listing parents' home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or other personal contact information as "directory information" that is publicly available. It directly affects parents (by preventing their contact details from being shared without consent) and school districts (which must stop designating such information as public). The key provision amends state law to explicitly ban treating parent contact details as directory information, except for limited voter outreach during school referendums (with strict 15-day data retention rules). The change takes effect immediately upon enactment, requiring schools to treat parent contact information as private data regardless of prior designation.
