Safeguarding personal information entrusted to agencies that is of no legitimate concern to the public.

The committee assignment changed from State Government & Tribal Relations to Appropriations, suggesting the bill now requires funding approval.

The initial reading date was updated from February 4, 2026, to February 9, 2026.

A new provision was added stating that if specific funding is not included in the omnibus appropriations act by June 30, 2026, the entire act is null and void.

The definition of 'government-issued identifier' was clarified to explicitly state that the listed items (like social security numbers) are the specific meaning for this subsection.

Reorganized the list of exempt personal information to include 'language preference' and 'individual consumer utility account data' as new protected categories.

Added an exception for geolocation data, stating it is no longer exempt when an agency employee uses it for official duties.

Refined the exemption for residential addresses by explicitly excluding addresses used for business purposes, voter registration records, and real property records from protection.

Changed the bill number from H-3030.1 to H-3372.1 and updated the sponsor attribution to include the committee name.

Shortened the act title by removing the phrase 'and creating a new section'.
