    AN ACT relating to schools.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.   The Private Business and Vocational Schools
Act is amended by changing Section 1.1 as follows:

    (105 ILCS 425/1.1) (from Ch. 144, par. 136.1)
    Sec. 1.1.  Exemptions and annual filing.
    (a)  For purposes of this Act, the following shall not be
considered to be a private business and vocational school:
         (1)  Any eleemosynary institution.
         (2)  Any religious institution.
         (3)  Any public educational institution exempt  from
    property taxation under the laws of this State.
         (4)  Any   in-service   course  of  instruction  and
    subject offered by an employer  provided  no  tuition  is
    charged and such instruction is offered only to employees
    of such employer.
         (5)  Any   educational   institution  which  on  the
    effective  date  of  this  amendatory  Act  of  1984   is
    regulated  solely by or which on January 2, 2001 June 30,
    1991, is solely degree granting, enrolls  a  majority  of
    its students in bachelors' or higher degree programs, has
    maintained  an  accredited  status with the Commission on
    Institutions of Higher Education  of  the  North  Central
    Association  of Colleges and Schools, and is regulated by
    the Illinois Board of Higher Education under the  Private
    College  Act  or  the  Academic  Degree  Act, or which is
    exempt from such regulation under either of the foregoing
    Acts  solely  for  the  reason  that   such   educational
    institution  was  in  operation  on the effective date of
    either such Act.
         (6)  Any institution and  the  franchisees  of  such
    institution   which   offer   exclusively   a  course  of
    instruction in income tax theory or return preparation at
    a total contract price of no  more  than  $400,  provided
    that  the total annual enrollment of such institution for
    all such courses of instruction exceeds 500 students, and
    further provided that the total contract  price  for  all
    instruction offered to a student in any one calendar year
    does not exceed $400.  For each calendar year after 1990,
    the  total  contract price shall be adjusted, rounded off
    to the nearest dollar, by  the  same  percentage  as  the
    increase  or  decrease  in  the  general  price  level as
    measured by  the  consumer  price  index  for  all  urban
    consumers  for the United States, or its successor index,
    as defined and officially reported by the  United  States
    Department of Labor, or its successor agency.  The change
    in  the  index  shall  be  that as first published by the
    Department of Labor for  the  calendar  year  immediately
    preceding  the  year in which the total contract price is
    calculated.
    (b)  An institution exempted under subsection (a) of this
Section must file with the Superintendent an annual financial
report to demonstrate continued compliance by the institution
with the requirements on which the exemption is based.
