  Department) -- read once and  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Higher
  Education

AN  ACT  to  amend  the  education  law, in relation to the licensure of
  private proprietary schools; and providing for the repeal  of  certain
  provisions upon the expiration thereof

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The article heading of article 101 of the education law  is
amended to read as follows:
                       LICENSED PRIVATE [TRADE AND
              CORRESPONDENCE] CAREER SCHOOLS AND CERTIFIED
                  ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE SCHOOLS
  S  2.  Legislative  intent.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares
that there is a growing need to protect  students  enrolled  in  certain
non-degree granting proprietary schools from inadequate job training and
school  closure,  which disrupts the academic progress of these students
and jeopardizes their tuition funds. Given the growing needs and demands
of business and industry, the Legislature further finds and declares  it
necessary to align the state education department's current oversight of
these schools with these significantly increasing needs. The Legislature
finds  it  necessary for the department to review these schools' curric-
ulums and instruction to help ensure students receive adequate  training
to obtain employment and to successfully perform their occupation in the
workplace. It also finds it necessary for the department to intervene in
certain  school  closures  where  teach out plans may not be efficiently
implemented and students may not complete training.
  The Legislature also finds it necessary for the department  to  review
these  schools  for financial viability to prevent school closure, which
will, in turn, preserve tuition funds  and  federal  and  state  funding
sources.  This  act is also necessary to increase the accountability and
