MASSACHUSETTS – S112 – An Act Establishing a Student Tuition Recovery Fund Sponsor: Senator Eileen Donoghue (D) MASSACHUSETTS – H627– An Act Establishing a Student Tuition Recovery Fund Sponsor: Rep. Jennifer Benson (D) NEPCSA has been working to defeat the legislation to create a Student Tuition Recovery Fund. Now, we need the help of all private career schools in the state. Legislative committees are required to take action on any pending legislation by February 7, 2018. Our goal is for the Joint Committee on Consumer Projection and Professional Licensure to give the Student Recovery Fund legislation an unfavorable report. Please contact your legislators, the chairs of the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure, and the co-sponsors of the legislation.
