Specifically:
(1) Provides that for the purposes of determining job placement rates for an occupation or job for which the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) has approved a certified apprenticeship program, "graduates employed in the field" means graduates gainfully employed for at least 60 days within graduation in a position with job duties meeting all of the criteria of the apprenticeable occupation or job set forth by DAS.
(2) Provides that for the purposes of determining job placement rates for an occupation or job for which the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) has established licensure requirements, "graduates employed in the field" means graduates who are gainfully employed for at least 60 days within six months of passage of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination in a position with job duties meeting all of the criteria of the licensed occupation or job set forth by BRN.
(3) Provides that a remedy that could have been ordered on or before June 30, 2007, to redress a violation of the Former Act must remain available for all actions based on a violation of the Former Act that were commenced after June 30, 2007, and before January 1, 2010, except claims to the Student Tuition Recovery Fund.

| CA | Vetoed 09/2010 | Postsec. | From bill analysis: Prohibits an institution from offering an unaccredited doctoral degree program without disclosing to prospective students that the degree program is unaccredited, and any known limitation of the unaccredited degree, including, but not limited to, whether the degree is recognized for licensure or certification in other states. Authorizes the bureau for private postsecondary education to publish its own list of acceptable examinations (that a student without a high school diploma or GED may achieve a passing score on to enroll in an institution) if the U.S. Department of Education does not have a list of relevant examinations that pertain to the intended occupational training. Ensures students are provided until the 1st class day or the 7th day after enrollment, whichever is later, to cancel a program and receive a refund. Alters the definition of "graduates employed in the field" to require that graduates be gainfully employed within 6 months of graduation in a position for which the skills obtained through the education and training provided by the institution are required or utilized to perform the purpose or objective of the position or major responsibilities of the position.

| TX | Adopted 05/2010 | Postsec. | Largely from Texas Register:
Amends provisions relating to degree-granting colleges and universities that are not Texas public institutions. Section 7.3 creates a "Conditional Certificate of Authorization" to provide a mechanism for an institution that is accredited by a higher education coordinating board-recognized accreditor to operate for a limited period of time. This also allows for the institution to verify state degree granting authority to a recognized accrediting agency prior to receiving full accreditation status. Section 7.7 incorporates reference to Conditional Certificate of Authorization in section relating to institutions accredited by board-recognized accreditors. Section 7.11, "Changes of Ownership and Other Substantive Changes", removes reference to "associate" degree to provide for fact that some programs may not offer an associate's degree.
Adopted as published in February 5, 2010 Texas Register (pp 14-16 of 134): http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/pdf/backview/0205/0205prop.pdf
