2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
DOA:......Hummert, BB0361 - Educational approval board
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
education
Other educational and cultural agencies
Under current law, the Educational Approval Board (EAB) inspects and approves private trade, correspondence, business, and technical schools (EAB-approved schools) to protect the students, prevent fraud, and encourage accepted educational standards at those schools. Currently, the EAB is attached to DVA for administrative purposes. This bill attaches the EAB to the Technical College System Board for administrative purposes.
Under current administrative rules, the EAB may seek a court order to take possession of an EAB-approved school's records if it appears that those records are in danger of being destroyed, secreted, mislaid, or otherwise made unavailable. Current law, however, exempts from the oversight of the EAB tax-exempt schools that were incorporated in this state before January 1, 1992, or that had their headquarters and principal places of business in this state before 1970, schools that are licensed or approved, and supervised, by other state agencies, schools approved by DPI for the training of teachers, and schools accredited by accrediting agencies recognized by the EAB (schools not approved by the EAB).
This bill permits the EAB to take possession of the student records of an EAB-approved school or a school not approved by the EAB operating in this state if the school discontinues its operations, proposes to discontinue its operations, or is in imminent danger of discontinuing its operations as determined by the EAB and if the EAB determines that those records are in danger of being destroyed, secreted, mislaid, or otherwise made unavailable to the persons who are the subjects of those records. The bill also permits the EAB to seek a court order authorizing the EAB to take possession of the student records of an EAB-approved school or a school not approved by the EAB if necessary to protect those records from being destroyed, secreted, mislaid, or otherwise made unavailable to the persons who are the subjects of those records.
In addition, the bill permits the EAB to retain in an appropriation account that it uses for the examination and approval of school programs not more than 20 percent of the amount of the unencumbered balance at the end of each fiscal year that does not exceed 20 percent of the amount appropriated for those purposes for the next fiscal year and requires that, of the balance remaining, 50 percent shall lapse to the general fund and 50 percent shall be transferred to an appropriation account that the EAB uses to indemnify students who suffer losses as a result of a school closure.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 15.495 of the statutes is renumbered 15.945 and amended to read:
