LC 372 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise privacy laws

This bill revises Montana's privacy laws to strengthen protections for students and consumers by updating definitions and requirements for how personal information is collected and managed. It directly affects K-12 schools, educational software providers, and consumers by establishing clearer rules for what constitutes protected information, such as student records, biometric data, and sensitive personal details. Key provisions include requiring operators of K-12 online applications to notify consumers when certain information is collected and providing an opt-out option for consumers to control their data. The bill also mandates that the Attorney General post information about consumer rights and responsibilities online and specifies duties for data controllers and third-party service providers. Additionally, it amends several existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated to align with these updated privacy standards.
