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