Montana HB599 revises parental rights regarding student data collection and physical and mental health screenings.

Montana HB599 revises parental rights regarding student data collection and physical and mental health screenings. It allows parents to opt out of data collection that does not require personally identifiable information and opt in for data collection that does. Parents must be notified of the right to opt out of physical and mental health surveys and screenings. The bill also restricts government entities from interfering with parental rights unless it furthers a compelling governmental interest and is narrowly tailored.
