CA SB372

Exempts from California's Private Postsecondary Education Act a specific institution that was incorporated in California in 1877, operated continuously as an independent nonprofit until 2022, and merged into another nonprofit postsecondary institution accredited by a regional body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education

The exempted institution would be classified as an "independent institution of higher education" under the Act, granting it the same status as other exempt institutions

Allows the exempted institution to voluntarily enter into a contract with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education to review and act on student complaints

If the institution executes a contract with the bureau, this establishes the institution's state authorization to offer programs beyond secondary education, including degree and certificate programs, for federal regulatory purposes
