(a) A private career school which is authorized by the executive director pursuant to sections 10a-22a to 10a-22o, inclusive, and sections 10a-22u to 10a-22w, inclusive, may request authorization to establish and operate additional classroom sites or branch schools, or to offer existing or new programs through a distance learning program, as defined in section 10a-22h, for the purpose of offering the occupational instruction authorized by the executive director, provided the additional classroom site or branch school complies with the provisions of subsection (b) of this section. Such school shall make such request for authorization to operate an additional classroom site or branch school or to offer existing or new programs through a distance learning program, in the manner and on such forms as prescribed by the executive director, at least sixty days prior to the proposed establishment of such additional classroom site or branch school or such distance learning program.
(b) The buildings and premises for such additional classroom site or branch school shall meet all applicable state and local fire and zoning requirements, and certificates attesting the same signed by the local fire marshal and zoning enforcement officer shall be filed with the executive director prior to offering such occupational instruction. The additional classroom site or branch school shall be in compliance with the relevant requirements set forth in subsection (g) of section 10a-22b, or on and after the effective date of the regulations adopted pursuant to section 10a-22k, the requirements set forth in such regulations.
(c) The executive director, or the executive director’s designee, not later than thirty days after the proposed date for establishment of a branch school, may issue an order prohibiting any such establishment of a branch school if it would constitute a material or substantial deviation from the conditions of authorization or if the private career school fails to meet the requirements set forth in subsection (b) of this section.
(d) If the executive director, or the executive director’s designee, fails to take action upon the request for revision by the thirtieth day after the proposed date for establishment of such additional classroom site or branch school or such distance learning program, such request shall be deemed approved.
