Provides students enrolled in certain career programs with consumer protections from fraudulent and misleading claims and practices.
This bill, A1807, protects students enrolled in nonpublic career training programs (like private vocational schools) by requiring schools to disclose key information upfront and banning deceptive practices. It mandates schools to share details about program costs, completion rates, job placement outcomes, and certification requirements before enrollment, and to avoid false claims about earnings or employment prospects. The bill also prohibits schools from using commission-based recruitment pay and requires transparency when recommending student loan options. Violations can result in fines up to $20,000 per offense and other penalties enforced by the Attorney General.
