Summary

The bill bars schools from using artificial‑intelligence predictions, risk scores or biometric tracking as the sole basis for suspensions, expulsions or police referrals. It also limits how student data from AI or surveillance can be shared with law enforcement and requires state education agencies to create guidance and model policies. The measure aims to protect students—especially those in protected classes—from discriminatory or overly invasive technology.
