Exempts certain branch or extension campuses from state degree-granting laws.
This bill amends Maine's education laws to exempt certain branch or extension campuses from state degree-granting laws. Specifically, it exempts campuses affiliated with nonprofit educational institutions in other states that meet specific criteria, such as being substantially owned, operated, or supported by a bona fide church or religious organization. These campuses must primarily serve students seeking to learn the particular religious faith or beliefs of the affiliated organization. The exemption applies only to such branch or extension campuses.
