HARTFORD – State Representative Gail Lavielle (R-143), Ranking Member of the General Assembly’s Education Committee, applauded the Committee’s passage on March 27 of a bill that would protect the privacy of K-12 student data. A staunch advocate of protecting the privacy of student information, Lavielle had introduced a concept bill on the subject (HB 5991) early in the session, and the Committee’s co-chairs agreed to raise a committee bill based on the concept, indicating a strong signal of bipartisan support. The committee bill, HB 7017, An Act Concerning Student Data Privacy, drew the unanimous vote of the Education Committee’s membership.
