Summary

Existing law, the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009, provides, among other things, for student protections and regulatory oversight of private postsecondary institutions in the state. The act is enforced by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The act exempts an institution from its provisions if any of a list of specific criteria are met. This bill would exempt, until January 1, 2022, an institution from the act if it maintains its status as a nonprofit institution that is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, has operated continuously in California for at least 50 years as a nonprofit entity, as specified, does not award degrees or diplomas, is paid from state or federal student financial aid programs for fewer than 20% of its students who receive vocational training, and previously had an exemption from the bureau and did not utilize a specified pathway under the act. Existing law requires the Employment Development Department within the Labor and Workforce Development Agency to administer various programs, including the state unemployment and disability compensation programs, and perform duties relating to income tax withholding, which require the furnishment of social security numbers of employees or other individuals. Existing law also deems the California Workforce Development Board responsible for assisting the Governor in the development, oversight, and continuous improvement of California's workforce investment system and the alignment of the education and workforce investment systems to the needs of the 21st century economy and workforce. Under existing law, the information obtained in the administration of the Unemployment Insurance Code is for the exclusive use and information of the Director of Employment Development in the discharge of his or her duties and is not open to the public. However, existing law permits the use of the information for specified purposes, and allows the director to require reimbursement for direct costs incurred. This bill would require the Employment Development Department, in conjunction with the California Workforce Development Board, to annually collect specified information from an institution meeting specified requirements, and provide a report to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. The bill would also require the Employment Development Department to make the report available on the searchable CalJOBS Web site, through the training and education providers link on the Internet Web site, for the institution about which the report was made. This bill would require the Director of Employment Development to permit the use of information collected, as specified.
