Bill Summary
Under current law, the Department of Safety and Professional Services examines, approves, and regulates most private postsecondary schools, including trade schools and for-profit colleges. All such schools approved by DSPS are required to submit quarterly reports that include certain information, including information on enrollment. This bill requires these quarterly reports to also include information on veteran enrollment.
AI Summary
This bill requires private postsecondary schools (also known as proprietary or trade schools) to include veteran enrollment information in their existing quarterly reports to the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). Currently, these schools must submit reports with details about their enrollment, number of teachers, qualifications, course offerings, graduates, and employment success rates. The new requirement would simply add a specific reporting element about veteran student enrollment to these existing quarterly reports. This change helps the state track and monitor veteran participation in private educational institutions, potentially providing insights into educational opportunities and engagement for veterans. The bill maintains the existing approval process where schools must be examined and approved by DSPS before operating in the state, with approvals granted for up to one year and schools prohibited from advertising without departmental approval.
