AI Summary
This bill prohibits institutions of higher education from withholding a student's academic transcripts solely due to the student's failure to pay any loan payments, fines, fees, tuition, or other expenses owed to the institution. However, the institution can still withhold a student's academic credits and grades for any course for which the student's tuition and mandatory course fees have not been paid. The bill applies to all postsecondary institutions, including public institutions of higher education, private occupational schools, and private colleges and universities. The Department of Higher Education is required to promulgate regulations consistent with this section for its implementation.
