SB 17-102

Senate Bill 17-102, which has been signed into law, stops companies that provide services to schools from collecting or sharing information about a student's citizenship status or religious beliefs. This means these companies can't use such sensitive details for any purpose, even if they had permission before this bill was passed. The law affects both students and the organizations that work with educational institutions. Since it has been signed, the protections are now in place to safeguard students' personal information related to their citizenship or religion.
