Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2023
The Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2023 (CLASS Act) prohibits higher education institutions from requiring students to agree to mandatory arbitration or other legal restrictions when pursuing claims against the school. It specifically bans clauses that limit students' choices of court, venue, or jury trials in lawsuits, applying to all enrollment agreements between students and institutions of higher education as defined by federal law. The bill amends the Higher Education Act to ensure students can seek legal remedies in court without pre-dispute restrictions. It will take effect one year after enactment.
