The Assembly Higher Education Committee advanced AB 2771 on a due-pass vote Tuesday, moving the bill that would extend the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education’s sunset date to Jan. 1, 2031.
The committee hearing record shows AB 2771 as the bureau’s sunset bill and says the measure also includes technical and policy changes. The same record indicates at least one member objected, saying they could not support the bill because of concerns about preserving or increasing fees. The transcript excerpt available in the source material does not clearly identify that member or spell out the full amendment language.
The Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education regulates private postsecondary schools in California. Keeping the agency alive past its current sunset date would preserve its oversight role while lawmakers continue to revisit the bureau’s authority and fee structure.
