PA HB1732

Allows private academic schools to submit license applications before securing a physical facility, provided they include a planning statement identifying the proposed site, timeline for finalizing the lease or sale, and a contingency plan

Permits applicants to include staffing projections and identify proposed teachers, professional staff, and directors they intend to formally hire upon receiving licensure, rather than having finalized hires at application

Creates a conditional approval process for initial licensure lasting up to six months, allowing schools to complete pending requirements such as formal hiring and facility documentation before receiving full licensure

Requires the State Board of Private Academic Schools to promulgate rules within 180 days establishing policies for private academic schools to apply for emergency permits and long-term or day-to-day substitute permits through the department

Removes the one-year sunset provision on existing regulations of the State Board of Private Academic Schools, allowing current rules to remain in effect indefinitely until repealed or amended
