_______________

In the One Hundred and Ninety-Second General Court
(2021-2022)

_______________

An Act prohibiting license revocation for student loan default.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to prohibit license revocation for student loan default, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Section 13 of chapter 30A of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2020 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out the last paragraph and inserting in place thereof the following paragraph:-

No board of registration operating pursuant to chapter 112 or agency shall deny issuance of, revoke or refuse to renew any license or professional or occupational certificate, registration or authority based on an individual’s default on an educational loan.
