Revise student data collection laws
This bill revises Montana's laws to strengthen parental rights over how their children's data is collected and used by schools and government entities. It requires schools to notify parents about physical and mental health screenings and allows parents to opt their children out of non-essential data collection while opting in for surveys that require personally identifiable information. The legislation also restricts government entities from interfering with parental decisions regarding education, health care, biometric scans, and other personal information without meeting strict legal standards. Additionally, it establishes legal protections allowing parents to seek remedies if their rights under the new provisions are violated.
