Bill > S3107

This bill, the Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2023 (CLASS Act), aims to make two key changes. First, it states that the Federal Arbitration Act, which governs the enforcement of arbitration agreements, shall not apply to enrollment agreements between students and institutions of higher education. This means that students would not be required to arbitrate disputes with their schools. Second, the bill prohibits institutions of higher education from placing any limitations or restrictions on a student's ability to pursue claims against the institution in court, such as limitations on choice of law, jury trials, or venue. The bill is set to take effect one year after the date of enactment.
