Personal Privacy Protection Act.
SB 416, the Personal Privacy Protection Act, prohibits North Carolina public agencies from collecting, disclosing, or releasing personal information about members, volunteers, or donors (financial or nonfinancial) to 501(c) nonprofit organizations. It directly affects individuals who support nonprofits, shielding their identities from public agency records. Key provisions ban agencies from requiring such information, publicly sharing it, or asking contractors/grantees for lists of nonprofit supporters. The bill designates this information as non-public under state law, with limited exemptions for court orders, required disclosures, or voluntary releases by the individual.
