Panel approves bill to limit districts selling staff contact lists, curb invasive required apps
Summary
HB 124, as amended, bars school districts and the State Board from selling or transferring employee contact lists to third parties and restricts requiring technology that has privacy‑invasive terms. The bill allows accommodations and a State Board complaint process; the committee adopted a substitute and an amendment and passed the measure.
Representative Lee presented House Bill 124 to restrict local education agencies from selling or otherwise distributing staff contact lists and to prohibit districts from requiring employees to use technologies whose terms or privacy policies permit access to data beyond the app itself. The substitute also requires districts to provide reasonable accommodations for mandatory technologies in certain circumstances and creates a complaint process to the State Board of Education.
