SB 1047, as introduced, Huff. International student exchange visitor placement organizations.
Existing law, the Uniform Supervision of International Student Exchange Visitor Placement Organizations Act of 1994, defines and regulates these organizations, which arrange the placement of international student exchange visitors for the purpose of providing the opportunity to attend a primary or secondary school in the United States. Existing law requires the Attorney General to maintain a registry of these organizations, with which these organizations are to register. Existing law prescribes fees for registration.
This bill would make nonsubstantive, technical changes in the registration and fee provisions.
