Bill > HB4

This bill amends Section 75-60-5 of the Mississippi Code to clarify exemptions for proprietary schools from registration requirements with the Commission on Proprietary School and College Registration. Specifically, the bill modifies language related to nonvocational instruction, changing the existing text to exempt schools that offer instruction primarily for non-vocational, personal improvement, or cultural purposes, provided they do not represent that their courses will produce income for students. The bill also makes a minor technical change to the Board of Cosmetology and Barbering's jurisdiction, removing the specific reference to the State Board of Barber Examiners. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines about which types of educational institutions are exempt from registration, focusing on schools that offer non-career-oriented learning experiences. The amendments will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving educational institutions and regulatory bodies time to understand and implement the updated requirements.
