MASSACHUSETTS – S112 – An Act Establishing a Student Tuition Recovery Fund Sponsor: Senator Eileen Donoghue (D) NEPCSA has been working to defeat the legislation to create a Student Tuition Recovery Fund, and has been successful thus far. With the help of NEPCSA members, the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure gave the legislation an unfavorable report with an "Ought not to pass". The bill is currently under review with the Senate Ways & Means Committee, and NEPCSA is confident that recent meetings held during the annual Day on the Hill will increase the chances that the bill will not move forward. Thank you to those all who participated in the June 20 Day on the Hill for your support of NEPCSA's efforts to protect New England Private Career Schools! You can still support our efforts by contacting your legislators. Click here to find your legislator.
