Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act
To provide consumer protections for students.
This bill, HB9748, aims to protect students by ensuring they have clear and fair information when making educational decisions. It would require educational institutions to provide detailed information about costs, graduation rates, and job placement rates. This way, students and their families can make informed choices about their education.
The bill would primarily affect students, parents, and educational institutions. Students would benefit from having more transparent information, while institutions would need to ensure they are providing accurate and complete data. The bill seeks to level the playing field by making it easier for students to understand what they are getting into financially and professionally.
As of July 16, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. There are no further actions or history recorded yet. Key next steps will include committee review, potential amendments, and a vote in the House.
