As substituted on 1/22/2026: - Prohibits an automated system from being the sole basis for a student disciplinary decision. - Prohibits the use of automated decision systems to generate predictive "risk scores" for student misconduct or to maintain student watchlists based on such predictions. - Prohibits the use of biometric data to infer a student's emotional state, mental health, sexual orientation, or other sensitive personal characteristics. - Restricts the disclosure to law enforcement of student data collected through AI and surveillance systems, permitting it only when required by law or in cases of imminent threat of serious physical harm. - Prohibits school districts from using facial recognition services for ongoing surveillance, real-time identification, or persistent tracking of students. - The 1/22/2026 substitution allows the use of biometrics to determine student engagement when it is used solely for the purposes of informing education professional development. Allows gathering and analyzing nonbiometric information about a student's behavior with an automated decision system to determine a level of concern, used to develop supportive interventions to promote positive behavior development.
