Louisiana — La. R.S. 17:3913 and 17:3914 (student information privacy)
Louisiana's student-privacy pair is among the strictest in the US: transfer transparency (17:3913 — public profiles of every recipient, signed agreements, data-element listings) and the prohibition regime of 17:3914 — with criminal penalties (fines and imprisonment) for unlawful disclosure of personally identifiable student information.
Applicability to EdTech
A vendor receiving Louisiana student data operates inside contracts shaped by 17:3914's prohibitions and its unique-student-ID architecture; the criminal-penalty backdrop makes districts unusually conservative. (R.S. 51:1954 from the TODO working cite is the consumer-side act — add on demand.)

The reproduced text is La. R.S. 17:3913 and 17:3914, enacted by the Louisiana Legislature and served by the Legislature on legis.la.gov. No copyright subsists in this text. In Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, Inc., 590 U.S. 255 (2020), the Supreme Court held: "Under what has been dubbed the government edicts doctrine, officials empowered to speak with the force of law cannot be the authors of—and therefore cannot copyright—the works they create in the course of their official duties." It went on: "judges—and, we now confirm, legislators—may not be considered the 'authors' of the works they produce in the course of their official duties as judges and legislators. That rule applies regardless of whether a given material carries the force of law." (slip opinion, pp. 1 and 5–6, read 2026-10-01.)

Public-domain text carries no conditions. The corpus attributes it all the same: the {.meta} provenance line on each section names the publisher, the Sources section links the official text, and the Meta section describes what the builder changed (markup and anchors only). Nothing here suggests that the Louisiana Legislature endorses the corpus.
