HB1214 prevents the Board of Regents from refusing to issue or renew professional licenses and vehicle registrations to people who owe money to state universities or other Regents institutions. This removes a collection tool the Board currently uses to pressure borrowers to repay debts like unpaid tuition or student loans.
