S 3630 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies that law concerning requirements for closure of private career school applies to certain schools licensed by New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.

S 3630 clarifies that New Jersey's private career school closure requirements apply to cosmetology and hairstyling schools licensed by the State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. The bill requires these schools to submit "teach-out plans" to the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development if they close, ensuring students can transfer to another school or complete their training. It also mandates the State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to create a model teach-out plan for these institutions to use when filing their plans. This addresses gaps highlighted by past closures (like Capri Institute), where students faced unresolved debt and lost transcripts. The law expands existing protections for private career school students to cover cosmetology programs.
