TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the education law, in relation to the unlawful sale of
dissertations, theses and term papers
PURPOSE :
To extend the current prohibition against the sale of dissertations
and term papers to papers provided through electronic media such as
the Internet.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Amends Section 2l3-b of the Education Law to add the phrase" either
written or provided through electronic media" to prohibition against
the sale or purchase of dissertations, theses, term papers, essays,
reports or other educational assignments.
