Senate Bill 1534 amends the Education Code to require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to include within its higher education accountability system any career schools and colleges in Texas that offer degree programs and to report to the legislature regarding any of the entities that do not participate in the accountability system. The bill also excludes certain career schools or colleges from the law prohibiting a person from operating a career school or college in Texas without a certificate of approval issued by the Texas Workforce Commission and requires such a school or college to post a conspicuous notice on the home page of its website stating that it is not regulated in Texas.
