ETA. BetaRose: it looks simpler than that on *paper*? Child's parent(s)/guardian responsible up to 18, then all access goes to child. Unless said child over 18 is a [financially] dependent student or said over 18'er gives written consent.
Would the absence of it [or similar legislation] have changed [even removed] GLOs, honor societies beyond all recognition?
(I.e. no/more limited access to GPA this, that).
But back to the initial questions.
