On October 11, 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill (AB) 48 (Portantino, Chapter 310, Statutes of 2009). AB 48 is known as the Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 ("Act") and establishes the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The Act became operative on January 1, 2010. The Act can be found in the "Quick Hits" area on the left hand side of this page.

Beginning January 1, 2010, private postsecondary schools operating in California will be under the jurisdiction of the Bureau and subject to the requirements of the Act, unless they are exempt pursuant to sections 94874, 94874.1, or 94927.5 of the Act.

During this transition time, the BPPE web site will be periodically updated to ensure all students, institutions, and stakeholders are continually apprised of relevant information.

If you would like to receive updates regarding transition to the new Bureau, you may sign up by clicking the "Subscribe for e-mail updates" link under the "Quick Hits" section on the left hand side of this page.
