Sec. 5. (a) The commission for higher education may refuse to allow a CSA participating entity to continue participation in the CSA program and revoke the CSA participating entity’s status as a CSA participating entity if the commission for higher education determines that the CSA participating entity accepts payments made from a CSA account under this article and:

(1) has failed to provide any educational service required by state or federal law to a career scholarship student receiving instruction from the CSA participating entity; or

(2) has routinely failed to meet the requirements of a CSA participating entity under the CSA program.

     (b) If the commission for higher education approves a CSA participating entity under this chapter, the commission for higher education:

(1) may periodically review the sequences, courses, apprenticeships, or programs of study provided by the CSA participating entity to ensure the sequences, courses, or apprenticeships comply with the requirements under IC 20-51.4-4.5-6 and this chapter; and

(2) may revoke approval of the CSA participating entity if, at any time more than two (2) years after the CSA participating entity is approved, the commission for higher education determines that the sequences, courses, apprenticeships, or programs of study that the CSA participating entity offers do not comply with the requirements under IC 20-51.4-4.5-6 or this chapter.

     (c) If the commission for higher education revokes approval of a CSA participating entity under subsection (b), the revocation becomes effective the immediately following school year.
