Further providing for penalties.

Final Passage·7/12/26

Pennsylvania SB1294 increases the maximum civil penalty for violations of the Private Licensed Schools Act.

Pennsylvania SB1294 amends the Private Licensed Schools Act to increase the maximum civil penalty from $2,500 to $25,000 for violations by licensees or unlicensed operators. The penalty can only be assessed once per violation, and violators must have access to a hearing procedure before the penalty is collected. This change aims to strengthen enforcement of private school regulations in Pennsylvania.
