Summary

The Parent Data Sovereignty Act makes personally identifiable student information the property of parents, giving them rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of non‑essential data collection and sharing. It prohibits schools and the state education agency from selling or licensing student data, and mandates a public portal that lists what data is collected and with whom it is shared. The law also sets security standards for vendors and penalties for violations.
