California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009: exemptions.

Summary

The bill amends the Education Code to exempt a nonprofit college founded in 1877 that merged with an accredited school. It treats the merged entity as an independent higher‑education institution and permits it to contract with the state bureau for complaint review. This lets the school operate outside the normal private‑postsecondary regulations.
