2009 Senate Bill 786

House Roll Call 661: Passed

To prohibit private trade-schools that charge to teach a trade, occupation, or vocation (“proprietary schools”) unless they are “accredited” by an accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The bill also revises a prohibition on trade schools selling goods or services provided by students, by allowing sales if producing the goods or services are an integral part of the training, if the sale price only recovers the cost plus a “nominal amount,” and if other conditions are met.
