This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 135A.195, subdivision 6, by removing the expiration date for an exemption related to reporting and marketing requirements for institutions of higher education that contract with online program management companies. Previously, this exemption was set to expire on July 1, 2028, but the bill eliminates this expiration, allowing the exemption to remain in effect indefinitely.

As a result of this amendment, institutions that entered into contracts on or before July 1, 2023, will continue to be exempt from certain reporting and marketing requirements when they make changes to the number of managed programs. This change aims to provide ongoing flexibility for higher education institutions in their partnerships with online program management companies.
