Parental Rights Relief Act

This bill amends federal student privacy laws (FERPA and PPRA) to allow parents (or eligible students aged 18+ or emancipated minors) to directly sue schools in federal court for privacy violations, without first exhausting government complaint processes. It applies to violations involving education records (FERPA) or student surveys (PPRA), such as unauthorized sharing of personal information. The law requires schools to address privacy complaints within 90 days but creates a new civil action pathway for affected individuals. This directly impacts parents and students in K-12 and college settings who believe their school mishandled private educational data.
