What it requires
- If you are a public institution of higher learning that holds personal information of students, such as names; campus, home or email addresses; or telephone numbers, do not share it with a third-party contractor you have engaged to input student personal information for administrative purposes unless the contractor agrees in writing that it will use the information only for the purpose for which it was provided and will not sell it or share it with any other entity (Public Chapter 619 of 2024, section 1).

What record it asks for
Logging duty
Public Chapter 619 bars sharing student personal information with a data-entry contractor without a written use limit. It names no log or record that must be kept, so no logging duty is coded.
