INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Perea

                        FEBRUARY 23, 2015

   An act to amend Section 94874.7 of the Education Code, relating to
private postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 509, as introduced, Perea. California Private Postsecondary
Education Act of 2009: exemptions.
   Existing law, the California Private Postsecondary Education Act
of 2009, provides, 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 within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The act requires
the bureau to establish, by regulation, a process pursuant to which
an institution that is exempt from the act may request and obtain
from the bureau verification that the institution is exempt.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision
requiring the bureau to establish that verification process.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 94874.7 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   94874.7.  The bureau shall establish, by regulation, a process
pursuant to which an institution that is exempt from this chapter may
 request,   request  and  obtain,
  obtain  from the bureau verification that the
institution is exempt. The bureau shall establish a reasonable fee to
reimburse the bureau's costs associated with the implementation of
this section.
