Referred Education, Energy, and the Environment (Senate)
Summary
The bill lets the Secretary of Higher Education approve private career schools to run ads and gather contact information from prospective students before the school is officially certified. Advertisements must state the planned opening date, programs offered, application steps, and that the operating certificate is still pending. This aims to give schools a way to market early while keeping students informed.
