Summary
Amends the Private Business and Vocational Schools Act of 2012, the Private College Act, and the Academic Degree Act. Defines "religious institution" in these Acts. Provides that any religious institution (instead of any institution devoted entirely to the teaching of religion or theology) shall not be considered to be a private business and vocational school; makes related changes. Provides that no religious institution shall be subject to the educational requirements, standards, or demands contained in the Private College Act or the Academic Degree Act or in those Acts' administrative rules, and requires a religious institution to notify each of its students in writing that the religious degree being earned or course work earned at a religious, non-accredited, post-secondary educational institution may not transfer to other institutions.

What changed in the latest version
245 added · 367 removedPlain-language change summary
The proposed amendment to SB 2822 introduces a new section that exempts private religious institutions from certain state education regulations. This change aims to reduce government involvement in religious education and recognizes the rights of these institutions and their community members—students and faculty—to operate according to their religious missions. It also highlights the intent to lessen state expenses linked to enforcing these regulations. This matters because it could impact students' understanding of their educational options and transferability of their credits, as these institutions will not have to meet the same standards as other educational institutions.

"Non-degree program of study" or "program of study" means any designation, appellation, series of letters or words, or other symbol that signifies or purports to signify that the recipient has satisfactorily completed an organized academic program of study beyond the secondary school level, such as a certificate, but below the associate's degree level and that does not include any recognized degree program such as an associate's, baccalaureate, master's, or doctoral degree, a post-baccalaureate, professional degree, or a post-degree certificate, such as a post-baccalaureate certificate, post-master's certificate, or post-doctoral certificate.
"Program of study" as used in this definition means any academic program beyond the secondary school level, except for a program offered by a religious institution that is devoted entirely to religion or theology, a program offered by an institution operating under the authority of the Private College Act, the Academic Degree Act, or the Board of Higher Education Act, or a program of study of less than one year in length operating under the statutory authority granted to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
"Permit of approval" means a non-transferable permit, SB2822 - 3 - LRB100 19464 AXK 34730 b issued by and pursuant to the authority of the Board of Higher Education through its Division of Private Business and Vocational Schools to a private business and vocational school in the name of the school, that authorizes the school to solicit students and to offer and maintain one or more courses of instruction in compliance with the provisions of this Act and such standards and rules as may be adopted by the Board.
"Private business and vocational school" or "school" means an educational institution privately owned or operated by a person, partnership, corporation, or other entity offering courses of instruction for which tuition is charged, whether such courses of instruction are offered on site, through correspondence, by distance education, or by other methods, to prepare individuals to do any of the following:

(2) To pursue a manual, mechanical, technical, industrial, business, commercial, office, personal service (other than nursing), or other non-professional occupation.

"Religious education" means education in primarily religious subjects.
The term may also include secular subjects so long as the education incorporates significant religious or faith-based instruction and is part of a comprehensive educational program to equip the student to integrate his or her religion or faith into his or her career or work.
"Religious institution" means any private post-secondary educational institution dedicated, in its articles of incorporation, affidavit under the Religious Corporation Act, charter, or bylaws, to religious education and actually engaged exclusively in religious education.
