What this bill does
The LIFE with AI Act, introduced by Senator Bill Cassidy, aims to strengthen student data privacy while accommodating the growing use of technology, including artificial intelligence, in schools. The bill would create a voluntary "Golden Seal of Excellence in Student Data Privacy" for schools and districts that adopt real-time parental notification and consent systems for educational technology. It also amends federal student privacy law (FERPA) to simplify directory-information opt-outs, restrict use of student photographs for facial recognition and certain yearbook data practices, broaden the definition of "education records," and impose new requirements on contracts between schools and third-party technology vendors, including public disclosure and a Department of Education compliance-tracking list.
The bill primarily affects public elementary and secondary schools, local and state educational agencies, parents and eligible students (those 18 or older or in college), and companies that provide educational technology or services involving student data. Schools would face new administrative and disclosure obligations tied to continued eligibility for federal funds, while parents and students would gain clearer consent and opt-out rights. The Department of Education would be required to establish new offices, model contracts, and a technical assistance center to support compliance.
The bill was introduced on October 28, 2025, and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It has not yet been debated, amended, or voted on, and would need committee and floor action in both chambers before it could become law.
