Commission on Proprietary Schools; clarify provision requiring registration of schools providing nonvocational instruction.
HB 4 clarifies that proprietary schools offering nonvocational, personal improvement, or cultural courses (like arts or hobby classes) do not need to register with Mississippi's Commission on Proprietary Schools. The bill amends existing law to explicitly exempt these schools from registration requirements, provided they do not market courses as leading to income. This change directly affects proprietary schools offering nonvocational instruction, removing a potential administrative burden. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and never became law.
