AN ACT MAKING CERTAIN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS INELIGIBLE FOR PUBLIC FUNDS AND LICENSURE OR ACCREDITATION.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Section 10a-34 of the 2018 supplement to the general statutes is amended by adding subsection (m) as follows (Effective October 1, 2018):
(NEW) (m) On and after January 1, 2019, any person, school, board, association, limited liability company or corporation that requires any student, as a condition for enrollment at an institution of higher education or program of higher learning, to enter into an agreement that (1) limits participation in a class action, (2) limits any claim the student may have or the damages for such claim, or (3) requires the student to assert any claim in a forum that is less convenient, more costly or more dilatory for the resolution of a dispute than a judicial forum established in this state where the student may otherwise properly bring a claim, shall not be eligible to receive (A) public funds, or (B) licensure or accreditation from the Office of Higher Education. If the executive director of the Office of Higher Education determines that an institution of higher education is not eligible for licensure pursuant to this subsection, the executive director may require such institution to facilitate a teach-out, as defined in section 10a-22m, provided the executive director and such institution previously discussed a teach-out that ensures that current students of such institution are able to complete their programs without significant impact.
This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections: | ||
