BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  The legislature finds that the higher education coordinating board has never implemented legislation requiring degree-granting private vocational schools to participate in the tuition recovery trust fund established under RCW 28C.10.082.  The legislature also finds that federal requirements for degree-granting private schools are in conflict with the provisions of Washington law.  Therefore, the legislature intends to repeal the requirement that degree-granting private vocational schools participate in the tuition recovery trust fund.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 2.  The following acts or parts of acts are each repealed:

(1) RCW 28B.85.200 and 1995 c 176 s 1 & 1994 c 38 s 3; and
