Bill would ban paid work submitted as learners’ own

Paid providers would be barred from preparing, selling, or completing learners’ work, or advertising or offering to prepare or sell it. Covered work includes assignments from universities, groups that issue licenses or credentials, and groups that give exams. Providers must know, or reasonably should know, that learners will submit the work as their own for credit. Help would remain allowed if the assigning organization expressly permits it and helpers reasonably believe learners will not claim supplied work as their own. These rules would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
