What it requires

  • If you are a school administrative unit, a public school or a private school and you request a student's social security number, tell the student's parent or legal guardian (or the student, if 18 or older) what the number will be used for and give them the opportunity to opt out of providing it (20-A M.R.S. 6001-C(1)).
  • Delete a student's social security number from the student's records once the student is no longer enrolled in your school administrative unit or school (20-A M.R.S. 6001-C(2)).

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Section 6001-C requires notice of purpose, an opt-out and deletion of a student's social security number after the student leaves. It names no log or register that must be kept, so no logging duty is coded.

A school administrative unit, a public school within a school administrative unit or a private school that requests a student's social security number must tell the student's parent or legal guardian, or the student if the student is 18 years of age or older, what the number will be used for and give the opportunity to opt out of providing it. That unit or school must delete the student's social security number from the student's records once the student is no longer enrolled.

Public Law 2017, chapter 247 enacted section 6001-C. Public Law 2017, chapter 247 provides that it takes effect 90 days after the First Regular Session of the 128th Legislature adjourned unless otherwise indicated. The Laws of Maine give as the general effective date of nonemergency laws passed at that session, so section 6001-C took effect that day.
