INTRODUCED BY   Senator Torres

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2014

   An act to amend Section 94923 of the Education Code, relating to
private postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1069, as amended, Torres. Student Tuition Recovery Fund:
claims.
   Existing law, the California Private Postsecondary Education Act
of 2009, which is repealed on January 1, 2015, provides  for
 , among other things,  for  student
protections and regulatory oversight of private postsecondary
institutions in the state. The act is enforced by the Bureau for
Private Postsecondary Education in the Department of Consumer
Affairs. The act requires the bureau to adopt regulations governing
the administration and maintenance of the Student Tuition Recovery
Fund, including requirements relating to assessments on students and
student claims against the Student Tuition Recovery Fund, a
continuously appropriated fund.
   This bill would provide that a student who  utilizes
  uses  a Cal Grant or a Pell Grant to pay tuition
at a qualifying institution is not thereby made ineligible to apply
for payment from the Student Tuition Recovery Fund.  The bill
would also provide that, when   the application of a student
who uses a Cal Grant to pay tuition at a qualifying institution for
payment from the Student Tuition Recovery Fund is granted, the bureau
shall pay that amount to the Student Aid Commission. 
   This bill would become operative only if an act that becomes
operative on or before January 1, 2015, delays or eliminates the
January 1, 2015, repeal date of the California Private Postsecondary
Education Act of 2009.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
