Data Privacy Legislation
CT'S NEW DATA PRIVACY ACT The new Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) protects consumer data and gives consumers the right to access, correct, and delete their personal data. CT is now the fifth state to establish a consumer privacy law of this magnitude. The law affords consumers the right to obtain a portable copy of their data and the right to opt out of specific types of data processing, including targeted advertising. Data "controllers" and "processors" must be transparent, minimize data collection and protect the data they collect, The law also stipulates that sensitive data can only be collected if consumers opt-in for consent. The CTPA goes into effect on July 1, 2023.

CPO GUIDANCE ON ED LAW 2-D The NYSED CPO released guidance on August 9, 2022 related to the "Applicability of Education Law 2-d to the clinical experiences required in New York State registered educator preparation programs." The memorandum confirms that placements in educational agencies for clinical experiences do not require an Ed Law 2-d agreement, and that the candidate should be considered a "school official" under FERPA. The guidance also recommends providing the candidate with student data privacy and security training at the start of their clinical experience as an Ed Law 2-d best practice.
Both bills was passed by the Assembly and the Senate and are now awaiting signature from the NY Governor. Once signed into law, NY SB 348 will take effect on July 1, 2023 and NY SB 349 will take effect April 2023.
