(c) Prohibition on Coercion.--The exception under subsection (b)(2) shall not apply in a case in which an agency described in subsection (a)(1)-- (1) requested that a student or contributor individual consent to the disclosure of Federal student aid information; or (2) coerced or otherwise pressured a student or contributor individual to consent to such disclosure. (d) Reporting to Congress.--In the event the Secretary discloses or learns of a disclosure of Federal student aid information in violation of this section, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report that describes the circumstances of such disclosure, the nature of the information disclosed, and any steps taken to remedy the disclosure. (e) Relationship to Other Law.--This section supercedes any contrary provision of Federal, State, or local law to the extent such law would authorize disclosure of Federal student aid information in violation of this section. (f) Definitions.--In this section: (1) Contributor individual.--The term `contributor individual' means any individual (including a spouse or parent of a student or borrower) whose financial information, including tax return information, is required to be provided on an application for any program, activity, or benefit under this title. (2) Federal student aid information.--The term `Federal student aid information' means any personally identifiable information (as that term is used in section 444 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g; commonly known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974)) about a student or other contributor individual that is submitted or used in connection with a determination of initial or continuing eligibility for any program, activity, or benefit under this title. (3) Immigration enforcement.--The term `immigration enforcement' means an apprehension, an arrest, an interview, a request for identification, a search, or surveillance for the purposes of enforcing the immigration laws. (4) Immigration laws.--The term `immigration laws' has the meaning given the term in section 101(a)(17) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(17)).
