❌ SB47
Require certain disclosures of for-profit school, college status
Summary
The bill requires for-profit community school operators and post-secondary educational institutions in Ohio to disclose their for-profit status on their official websites, promotional materials, and contracts for instruction. The disclosures must be prominently displayed in a type size that is equal to or larger than other text. The Department of Education and Workforce will adopt rules to enforce these requirements.
Rationale
The bill imposes additional regulatory requirements on for-profit educational institutions, which conflicts with the Libertarian Party's principles of minimal government intervention and free market operations. The Libertarian Party of Ohio also opposes government regulations that interfere with market dynamics, leading to a lower alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation of private institutions
- Potential for reduced market competition
- Possibility of unintended consequences affecting educational choices
