The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Schools and colleges have threatened to withhold transcripts from students as a debt collection tactic. The practice can cause severe hardship by preventing students from pursuing educational and career opportunities, and it is therefore unfair and contrary to public policy. Moreover, the practice is counterproductive as it may further delay the payment of the debt by creating obstacles to student employment.
(b) It is the purpose of this title to prohibit schools from interfering with student educational and career opportunity by the withholding of transcripts.
