The bill amends and reenacts specific sections of Louisiana's Revised Statutes concerning proprietary schools, particularly focusing on the licensing and minimum standards for instructors. Notably, it removes the requirement for a current audited balance sheet to be prepared by an independent, certified public accountant for initial license applications, simplifying the financial documentation process for applicants. Additionally, the bill modifies the qualifications for instructors in technical or occupational courses by reducing the required documented occupational experience from four years to three years.

These changes aim to streamline the licensing process for proprietary schools and make it easier for instructors to meet the necessary qualifications. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature. If vetoed and later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after such approval.
