This bill amends section 445 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1232h) to require prior written consent before a student is required to take certain surveys, analyses, or evaluations that reveal personal information about the student or the student's family. It changes the phrase "prior consent" to "prior written consent" and adds the phrase "for such specific survey, analysis, or evaluation." It also adds a new clause saying adult students or emancipated minors must give prior written consent for those specific surveys, and for unemancipated minors a parent must give prior written consent. The bill was introduced on August 15, 2025, and is listed as in progress; it was ordered to be reported (amended) by a roll call vote of 18–15.
