INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Jeffries

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to amend Section 69509.5 of the Education Code, relating to
private postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1366, as introduced, Jeffries. Private postsecondary education:
student financial aid: notice.
   Existing law provides that within 5 days of the commencement of
any cause of action, including an emergency action, by the Student
Aid Commission against a private postsecondary educational
institution in connection with the Federal Family Education Loan
Program, the director of the commission shall give notice, in
writing, of the commencement of the action to the Council for Private
Postsecondary and Vocational Education.
   This bill would require the commission to give that notice within
8, rather than 5, days of the commencement of any cause of action.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
