LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 634, as introduced, Gomez. Private postsecondary education: avocational education.

The California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009, until January 1, 2015, provides for the regulation of private postsecondary educational institutions by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law exempts certain institutions from those provisions, including institutions that offer solely avocational or recreational education programs, and defines the term avocational education as education offered for the purpose of personal, entertainment, pleasure, or enjoyment.

This bill would expand the definition of “avocational education” to also include education offered for the purpose of personal enhancement.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.  

Section 94818 of the Education Code is amended
to read:

94818.  

“Avocational education” means education offered for
the purpose of personal begin insert enhancement, end insert entertainment, pleasure, or
enjoyment.
