1. If the person to whom a private school
or postsecondary educational institution is to provide educational services is
a resident of this state when any contract, instrument or document of
indebtedness relating to payment for the services is entered into, the provisions
of this section govern the rights of the parties in regard to the documents of
indebtedness. Any of the following agreements entered into in connection with
the giving of a document of indebtedness is invalid:
(a) That the law of another state applies;
(b) That the maker or any person liable on such
contract or other document of indebtedness consents to the jurisdiction of
another state;
(c) That another person is authorized to confess
judgment on such contract or evidence of indebtedness; or
(d) That fixes venue.
2. A document of indebtedness relating to
payment for education or educational services is not enforceable in the courts
of this state by any private school or postsecondary educational institution
operating in this state or with an agent operating in this state unless:
(a) The school or institution has received a
license to operate; and
(b) Each agent operating in this state had an
agents permit.
3. Any lending institution extending
credit to any person for tuition, fees or any other charges of a private school
or postsecondary educational institution for educational services to be
rendered by the school or institution shall conspicuously mark on the face of
any document of indebtedness taken in connection with the extension of credit loan
for study. If the lending agency fails to do so, it is liable for any damage
incurred by any subsequent assignee, transferee or holder of the document on
account of the absence of the notation.
4. Whether or not the notation loan for
study appears on the document of indebtedness, and notwithstanding any
agreement to the contrary, the lending agency extending credit and any
transferee, assignee or holder of the document of indebtedness are subject to
all defenses and claims which may be asserted against the private school or
postsecondary educational institution which was to render the educational
services, by any person that was a party to the document of indebtedness or the
person to whom the educational services were to be rendered to the extent of
the unpaid portion of the indebtedness.
