AN ACT relating to schools.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Private Business and Vocational Schools
Act is amended by changing Section 1.1 as follows:
(105 ILCS 425/1.1) (from Ch. 144, par. 136.1)
Sec. 1.1. Exemptions and annual filing.
(a) For purposes of this Act, the following shall not be
considered to be a private business and vocational school:
(1) Any eleemosynary institution.
(2) Any religious institution.
(3) Any public educational institution exempt from
property taxation under the laws of this State.
(4) Any in-service course of instruction and
subject offered by an employer provided no tuition is
charged and such instruction is offered only to employees
of such employer.
(5) Any educational institution which on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1984 is
regulated solely by or which on January 2, 2001 June 30,
1991, is solely degree granting, enrolls a majority of
its students in bachelors' or higher degree programs, has
maintained an accredited status with the Commission on
Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools, and is regulated by
the Illinois Board of Higher Education under the Private
College Act or the Academic Degree Act, or which is
exempt from such regulation under either of the foregoing
Acts solely for the reason that such educational
institution was in operation on the effective date of
either such Act.
(6) Any institution and the franchisees of such
institution which offer exclusively a course of
instruction in income tax theory or return preparation at
a total contract price of no more than $400, provided
that the total annual enrollment of such institution for
all such courses of instruction exceeds 500 students, and
further provided that the total contract price for all
instruction offered to a student in any one calendar year
does not exceed $400. For each calendar year after 1990,
the total contract price shall be adjusted, rounded off
to the nearest dollar, by the same percentage as the
increase or decrease in the general price level as
measured by the consumer price index for all urban
consumers for the United States, or its successor index,
as defined and officially reported by the United States
Department of Labor, or its successor agency. The change
in the index shall be that as first published by the
Department of Labor for the calendar year immediately
preceding the year in which the total contract price is
calculated.
(b) An institution exempted under subsection (a) of this
Section must file with the Superintendent an annual financial
report to demonstrate continued compliance by the institution
with the requirements on which the exemption is based.
