  A proprietary school shall provide the department with evidence of surety conditioned to provide indemnification to a student suffering loss because of inability to complete an approved course or program of study due to the closing of the proprietary school. The surety may consist of a bond, the amount of which shall be determined according to rules promulgated by the department. Surety shall expire on June 30 following the date of issuance and the proprietary school must submit proof of renewal to the department before the date of expiration. Any failure to submit evidence of surety invalidates a license to operate a proprietary school. This section does not apply to a proprietary school with a license issued under this act before November 2, 1967.
