S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7243 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y May 8, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. SIMOTAS -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to enacting the "K12 student privacy and cloud computing act" to prohibit service providers who offer cloud computing services to primary and secondary educa- tional institutions from processing student data for commercial purposes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "K12 student privacy and cloud computing act". S 2. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares: 1. Cloud computing services enable convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (including networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction; 2. Cloud computing services offer tremendous potential to educational institutions in terms of helping consolidate technical infrastructure, reducing energy and capital costs, increasing collaboration through "anytime-anywhere" access to applications and information, and realizing efficiencies, network resilience, and flexible deployment; and 3. Cloud computing service providers hold the potential to invade the privacy of students by tracking students' online activities for commer- cial purposes, such as delivering behaviorally targeted advertising or otherwise improving advertising services that the service provider may offer in connection with or separate from the services it offers to the educational institution. In light of the foregoing, the legislature deems it necessary to ensure that when an educational institution engages a cloud computing service provider to process student data, that the service provider uses student data only for the benefit of the educational institution and does not use such data for the service provider's own commercial purposes.
