AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure students' access to their academic transcripts. It prohibits institutions of higher education from withholding a student's official academic transcripts if the student's tuition and mandatory course fees for those courses are paid in full. However, the institution can still withhold a student's diploma or degree if the student has outstanding loan payments, fines, fees, or other expenses owed to the institution. The bill applies to all postsecondary institutions, including public institutions, private occupational schools, and private colleges and universities. The Department of Higher Education is required to promulgate regulations to implement this law.
