SF 1602 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain election officials and business entities permission to access student or parent data authorization provision

SF 1602 amends Minnesota law to allow schools to share students' or parents' contact information (like addresses and email) with two specific groups: state legislators/constitutional officers for non-campaign mailings, and business entities offering educational or professional services related to student needs. This expands existing access permissions under Minnesota Statutes §13.32, subdivision 5, which previously limited such sharing. The bill does not change what data is considered "directory information" but specifies new recipients for that data when schools share it upon request. It directly affects school districts, state legislators, and businesses seeking to provide student-related services.
