SB 372: California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009: exemptions.

The bill aims to provide exemptions for certain private postsecondary institutions in California. It would exempt institutions that have been operating continuously as independent nonprofits since 1877, were previously exempt from the law, and were merged with another accredited institution. These institutions would be considered independent institutions of higher education and would be allowed to execute a contract with the state bureau to review and address complaints. This would enable these institutions to continue offering programs beyond secondary education, including degree and certificate programs, without being subject to the state's regulatory oversight.
