RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This rule is amended in response to H.B. 358 from the 2016 General Session, and S.B 163 and S.B 102 from the 2017 General Session, that enact provisions regarding student data privacy and access to education records.

Summary of the rule or change:

The amendments to this rule provide standards and procedures for Utah Board of Education (Board) and local education agency (LEA) employees to ensure student data privacy consistent with the Utah Student Privacy Act. The amendments include provisions for required training; identification of local school board or charter school governing board employees who are authorized to access education records; and prohibits local school board, charter school governing board, and public school employees from sharing an education record with an employee who is not authorized.

Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Subsection 53A-13-301(4)
• Art X, Sec 3
• Section 53A-1-401
• Section 53A-1-411
• Subsection 53A-8a-410(4)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The amendments to this rule require the Board to develop student data privacy policies and training to ensure student data privacy statewide. The Board received an appropriation during the 2017 General Session to cover the costs of the new program.

local governments:

The amendments to this rule require LEAs to develop student data privacy policies and training to ensure student data privacy. Training and other compliance at the local level will likely be performed by existing employees and within existing budgets.

small businesses:

The amendments to this rule require training to ensure student data privacy and apply to the public education system, so there will likely be no result cost or savings to small businesses.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

The amendments to this rule require training to ensure student data privacy, which likely will not result in a cost or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities. Training will be performed at the state and local level which will likely be performed by existing employees and within existing budgets.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The amendments to this rule require training to ensure student data privacy, which likely will not result in any compliance costs for affected persons. Training will be performed at the state and local level which will likely be performed by existing employees and within existing budgets.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

To the best of my knowledge, there should be no fiscal impact on businesses resulting from this new language.
