	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2652, as amended, Eggman. California Private Postsecondary
Education Act of 2009: applicability.
   Under existing law, the segments of postsecondary education in
this state include the University of California, the California State
University, the California Community Colleges, independent
institutions of higher education, and private postsecondary
educational institutions.
   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 exempts
specified institutions from its provisions, does not apply to private
postsecondary educational institutions that do not maintain a
physical presence in the state, and is repealed on January 1, 2017.
   This bill would, to the extent authorized by federal law, require
a private entity with no physical presence in  this state,
  California,  that would be subject to the
requirements of this act if the entity was located in this state, to
register with the bureau and participate in the act's Student Tuition
Recovery Fund for its California students. The requirements of the
bill would be repealed on July 1,  2018.   2020.

   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature that appropriate
stakeholders work collaboratively to address how best to regulate
educational programs offered to the public by means of distance
education by institutions with no physical presence in California.
  SEC. 2.  Section 94801.5 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   94801.5.  (a)  Effective   Notwithstanding
Section 94858, effective  July 1, 2017, to the extent authorized
by federal law, a private entity with no physical presence in this
state that, if the entity was geographically located in this state,
would be subject to the requirements of this act shall do both of the
following:
   (1) Register with the bureau.
   (2) Participate in the Student Tuition Recovery Fund for its
California students.
   (b) This section shall remain in effect only until July 1,
 2018,   2020,  and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before July
1,  2018,   2020,  deletes or extends that
date.
