DIGEST
SB 270 Original 2016 Regular Session Boudreaux
Present law provides for the protection of personally identifiable student information.
Proposed law retains present law and additionally provides that the Dept. of Education shall provide
each local public school system with the information, including personally identifiable information,
the system deems necessary to verify the enrollment and residency status of each student residing
within the boundaries of the school system but who are enrolled in a public school outside of the
jurisdiction of the local school system. Requires the local school system to keep such information
confidential and limits the use of the information to the purpose of verifying student enrollment and
residency.
Present law provides for a penalty of not more than six months imprisonment or a fine of not more
than $10,000 for anyone who violates the provisions of present law.
Proposed law provides that this penalty shall apply to a local public school system that fails to keep
confidential the information provided to verify student enrollment and residency pursuant to
proposed law.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
