Establishes provisions relating to software accountability for education

HB 3281 requires all educational software used in Missouri public schools to meet specific accountability standards. It directly affects schools (as "contracting entities"), software vendors, and students by banning addictive design features like infinite scroll, gamified rewards, and persistent notifications. The bill mandates that vendors must sign a statewide digital privacy agreement prohibiting data misuse (including advertising, profiling, or resale), undergo independent effectiveness verification, and comply with strict data collection limits (e.g., no biometrics, emotion tracking, or AI influencing student beliefs). Schools cannot use noncompliant software for instruction, assessments, or school activities, and all software must align with educational purposes only, excluding marketing or commercial content.
