SCHOOLS: Provides relative to occupational experience of instructors in a technical or occupational course at proprietary schools. (gov sig)
This bill amends state regulations to require proprietary schools offering technical or occupational courses to submit specific financial documents when applying for an initial license. Under the new rules, applicants must provide a current audited balance sheet prepared by an independent certified public accountant within six months of the application date. The legislation directly affects private career training institutions seeking to operate in the state by adding this financial verification step to their licensing process.
