HIGHER ED-EMPLOYEE LOANS

Creates the Higher Education Employee Loan Act. Provides that if a not-for-profit higher education institution located in this State or its foundation makes a loan to an employee or contractor of either the institution or the foundation, then the annual rate of interest must be equal to the prevailing loan interest rate in effect at the time the institution or foundation approves the loan, except that the institution or its foundation may not make a loan to an employee or contractor of either the institution or the foundation for the purpose of purchasing a non-primary residence. Prohibits such an institution or foundation from forgiving a loan made to an employee or contractor of either the institution or the foundation. Requires the Board of Higher Education to adopt enforcement rules, which may include the imposition of a civil penalty. Effective immediately.
