This act prohibits school districts from requiring a student to use an identification device that uses radio frequency identification technology to identify the student, transmit information regarding the student, or monitor or track the location of the student.

The Missouri Alliance for Freedom supports the bill because it protects our students in public schools from unwanted data surveillance and tracking. This also prohibits the transmission of this data promoting our mission of individual liberty and privacy.

This bill passed both chambers of the General Assembly and is currently waiting on the Governor's signature.
