Abstract:
The Department of Education (the Department) amends the Student Assistance General Provisions regulations to implement changes to §668.43 – Financial assistance information . These changes are based on requirements of Section 485(a)(1)(G) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA). These final regulations are a result of negotiated rulemaking in 2021 and add new requirements to the current regulations. The final regulations in §668.43 would put in place new institutional disclosure requirements for participants in the proposed Prison Education Program (PEP). Specifically, §668.43(a)(5)(v) is amended to require disclosure of typical State or Federal prohibitions on the licensure or employment of formerly confined or incarcerated individuals for a PEP that is designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification. This information is required for licensure requirements in States other than the State where the correctional facility is located or the State where most students are likely to return.
