Provides students enrolled in certain career programs with consumer protections from fraudulent and misleading claims and practices.
This New Jersey bill (A 2091) protects students enrolled in private career programs by prohibiting deceptive practices by "covered schools" (nonpublic postsecondary institutions offering career training). It bans false claims about job placement, earnings, or program requirements, requires schools to disclose program costs and completion time upfront, and restricts schools from secretly profiting through preferred lender arrangements. The law directly affects students in these private career programs and holds schools accountable for transparency in advertising and financial disclosures. It does not apply to public colleges or universities.
