Bill > S3251

This bill, the Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2021 (CLASS Act of 2021), proposes two key provisions. First, it exempts enrollment agreements between students and institutions of higher education from the Federal Arbitration Act, which otherwise requires the enforcement of arbitration agreements. Second, it prohibits institutions of higher education from requiring students to agree to or enforcing any limitations or restrictions on students' ability to pursue claims against the institution in court, such as limitations on applicable law, jury trials, or venue. The bill aims to provide students greater legal recourse against their institutions of higher education.
