Bill overview
This bill, AB 1159, expands California’s student data privacy protections to include higher education students, building upon existing laws like KOPIPA and ELPIPA. It prohibits the use of student information, including unique identifiers, to train generative artificial intelligence systems. The bill also introduces a new act, HESIPA, to protect the personal information of higher education students, and establishes a civil cause of action for students harmed by noncompliance with these privacy laws. It includes provisions regarding data retention, correction of errors, and limitations on data sharing.
