The bill amends the Private Licensed Schools Act of December 15, 1986, specifically updating the definition of "private licensed school." The revised definition clarifies that a private licensed school is a for-profit institution providing resident instruction for skilled trades, industry, or business, as well as distance education. Notably, the amendment excludes various types of educational institutions, including private academic schools, barber schools, cosmetology schools, and others.
Significantly, the bill introduces new language to include "a school or provider approved by the State Real Estate Commission or the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers" as an exception to the definition of private licensed schools. This addition aims to ensure that specific real estate education providers are recognized and regulated appropriately under the law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
