Bill Summary

This bill requires the college student aid commission to collect a single, nonrefundable annual authorization fee, in an amount specified in the bill, from certain entities that do not pay a registration fee to the commission under current law. Such entities include an entity exempt from registration with the commission under Code chapter 261B or an entity maintaining or conducting in Iowa any educational course by classroom instruction or by correspondence or by other delivery method, or soliciting in Iowa the sale of such course under Code section 714.18. The commission may increase the fee annually by an amount not to exceed 3 percent.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Iowa Code to establish a new annual authorization fee for certain postsecondary educational institutions that are not currently required to pay registration fees. Specifically, the College Student Aid Commission will now collect a nonrefundable annual fee from entities authorized under specific sections of Iowa law (sections 261B.11 and 714.18) that do not already pay registration fees. The fee will vary based on the primary location of the institution: entities with a primary location in Iowa will be charged $2,000, while those with a primary location outside Iowa will be charged $3,500. The commission is allowed to increase the fee annually by up to 3%, starting from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The bill defines "primary location" as either the physical location of the main campus or the corporate office if no physical campus exists. This new fee is intended to help cover the administrative costs of overseeing and regulating these educational institutions, ensuring that the commission can effectively manage its responsibilities regardless of an institution's registration status.
