Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the federal student privacy law known as FERPA. It would cut off federal education program funds to any college or university that shares students' personal information, including directory information, to measure student voter registration or voting rates, unless the student first gives written consent. It would also cut off those funds to any college or university that sells students' education records, including directory information, without the student's prior written consent. Consent would have to follow the existing federal rules for written consent under FERPA.
