	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1140, as amended, Niello. California Private Postsecondary
Education Act of 2009: flight schools and aircraft maintenance
programs.
   Existing law establishes the California Private Postsecondary
Education Act of 2009, which, among other things, provides for
student protections and regulatory oversight of private postsecondary
schools in the state. Existing law establishes the Bureau for
Private Postsecondary Education to regulate private postsecondary
institutions through the powers granted, and the duties imposed, by
the act.
   This bill would prohibit the bureau, for the period July 1, 2010,
to  December 31   July 1  , 2011,
inclusive, from enforcing the act against institutions that offer
flight instruction or institutions that offer Federal Aviation
Administration certified educational programs in aircraft
maintenance. The bill would also require the Legislature to hold
public informational hearings for the purpose of reviewing the
appropriateness of regulating educational programs in flight
instruction and aircraft maintenance under the act.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 94874.3 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   94874.3.  (a) For the period July 1, 2010, to  December 31
  July 1  , 2011, inclusive, the bureau shall not
enforce this chapter against an institution that offers flight
instruction or an institution that offers Federal Aviation
Administration certified educational programs in aircraft
maintenance.
   (b) The Legislature shall hold public informational hearings for
the purpose of reviewing the appropriateness of regulating
educational programs in flight instruction and aircraft maintenance
under this chapter.
   (c) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2012, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2012, deletes or extends
that date.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to prevent the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education
from requiring institutions that offer flight instruction and
institutions that offer Federal Aviation Administration certified
educational programs in aircraft maintenance to file applications for
approval to operate on or before August 1, 2010, it is necessary for
this act to take effect immediately.
