H.R. 1094 · 118th Congress
Parents Opt-in Protection Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Parents Opt-in Protection Act
This bill revises the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which governs the administration to students of a survey, analysis, or evaluation that reveals information related to any of the eight protected areas (e.g., political affiliations, sex behavior or attitudes, and religious beliefs).
Specifically, the bill requires prior written consent of the student (if the student is an adult or an emancipated minor) or parent (if the student is an unemancipated minor) for such a specific survey, analysis, or evaluation. Currently, PPRA does not specify that this consent must be written.
Local educational agencies must update their student privacy policies to specify that students shall not be required to submit to a survey without prior written consent.
