	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Eggman

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2016

   An act to amend Section 94858 of the Education Code, relating to
postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2652, as introduced, 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physical presence in the state, and is repealed on January 1, 2017.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 instead, to the extent authorized by federal law,
apply the act to a private entity that offers postsecondary education
to the public in this state for an institutional charge.
   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.  Section 94858 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   94858.  "Private postsecondary educational institution" 
means   means, to the extent authorized by federal law,
 a private entity  with a physical presence in this
state  that offers postsecondary education to the public
 in this state  for an institutional charge.
