(a) The career college student assurance fund
is established to provide indemnification to a student or an enrollee of
a postsecondary credit bearing proprietary educational institution who
suffers loss or damage as a result of:
(1) the failure or neglect of the postsecondary credit bearing
proprietary educational institution to faithfully perform all
agreements, express or otherwise, with the student, enrollee, one
(1) or both of the parents of the student or enrollee, or a guardian
of the student or enrollee as represented by the application for the
institution's authorization and the materials submitted in support
of that application;
(2) the failure or neglect of the postsecondary credit bearing
proprietary educational institution to maintain and operate a
course or courses of instruction or study in compliance with the
standards of this chapter; or
(3) an agent's misrepresentation in procuring the student's
enrollment.
(b) The board for proprietary education shall administer the fund.
(c) The expenses of administering the fund shall be paid from
money in the fund.
(d) The treasurer of state shall invest the money in the fund not
currently needed to meet the obligations of the fund in the same
manner as other public funds may be invested.
(e) Money in the fund at the end of a state fiscal year does not revert
to the state general fund but remains available to be used for providing
money for reimbursements allowed under this chapter.
(f) Upon the fund acquiring fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), the
balance in the fund must not become less than fifty thousand dollars
($50,000). If:
(1) a claim against the fund is filed that would, if paid in full,
require the balance of the fund to become less than fifty thousand
dollars ($50,000); and
(2) the board for proprietary education determines that the student
is eligible for a reimbursement under the fund;
the board for proprietary education shall prorate the amount of the
reimbursement to ensure that the balance of the fund does not become
less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), and the student is entitled to
receive that balance of the student's claim from the fund as money
becomes available in the fund from contributions to the fund required
under this chapter.
(g) The board for proprietary education shall ensure that all
outstanding claim amounts described in subsection (f) are paid as
money in the fund becomes available in the chronological order of the
outstanding claims.
(h) A claim against the fund may not be construed to be a debt of the
state.
