Enrolled Bill Summary

The Education Code previously required each public college and university to collect a general property deposit not to exceed $10 from each student to insure the institution against losses, damages, and breakage in libraries and laboratories. Senate Bill 1472 amends the Education Code to allow a college or university to collect from each student a deposit of up to $100 for that purpose. It also requires the deposit to be returned to the student on the student's withdrawal or graduation, less any amount necessary to cover any loss, damage, or breakage caused by the student.
