Subject: | State Authorization – Federal Compliance - Barbering |
In the near future I will be introducing legislation that will insure that institutions offering barbering education will have a licensing process that complies with Federal Regulations under 34 CFR 600.9 (a) (b). On July 1, 2011 new minimum requirements went into effect concerning state oversight and approvals for postsecondary institutions that offered programs eligible for Title IV funds. Additional information published on August 22, 2011 recognized that some states may not meet the published criteria and provided for an additional extension for implementation until July 1, 2013. Institutions that are approved to operate by a State Agency that do not comply with the requirements set forth in 34 CFR 600.9 (a) (b) are at risk of losing eligibility of Title IV funds for their students. It was recently learned that the authorizing entity had to also state by name that the institution was recognized as offering a postsecondary program. The legislation that I will offer will add the necessary language to insure compliance for the institutions and students of the Commonwealth. |
