HB 5275 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PREVENTING DECEPTIVE MARKETING BY PRIVATE CAREER SCHOOLS.

HB 5275 would require private career schools to follow specific advertising rules to prevent misleading claims about their programs, directly affecting schools that market to students. The bill mandates regulated advertising practices under state statutes, ensuring schools cannot make false promises about job placement rates, program costs, or educational outcomes. This policy change aims to protect students from deceptive marketing tactics by creating enforceable standards for how career schools communicate with potential enrollees. The legislation focuses on concrete advertising transparency, not broader program changes or financial impacts.
