§ 3004¶
Advertising and Promotion of Equivalent Courses of Study.
The use of advertising or promotional material by or on behalf of the private vocational school or other sponsor of an equivalent course of study will be considered by the commissioner to be deceptive or misleading if it does not comply with the following standards:
(a) An advertisement shall clearly and conspicuously identify the entity offering an equivalent course of study as a private vocational school or the sponsor of a supervised course of study or other approved equivalent course of study and shall include the name of the entity.
(b) Advertising which makes reference to courses of study approved by the commissioner shall identify the specific course or courses that have been approved by listing the Bureau's course approval number.
(c) No advertising or materials, including oral representations, promoting approved equivalent courses shall contain language which implies or states, directly or indirectly, that a course can be completed in less time than the number of hours for which it is approved.
(d) No advertising or materials, including oral representation, shall include false or misleading statements or representations.

Applicability basis for 10 CCR § 3004 (Advertising and Promotion of Equivalent Courses of Study.): 1 CCR § 100 provides that an agency may add to, revise or delete text published in the California Code of Regulations without complying with the rulemaking procedure specified in article 5 of the APA only if the change does not materially alter any requirement, right, responsibility, condition, prescription or other regulatory element of any California Code of Regulations provision.
Version dates (indexing metadata): Effective 1996-11-13.
Date derivation (indexing metadata): This is the current publisher text. The filing history states: "7. Amendment of first paragraph, repealer of subsections (a)-(c), (f)-(h) and (j), subsection relettering, amendment of newly designated subsection (c), and new subsection (d) filed 11-13-96; operative 11-13-96 pursuant to Government Code section 11343.4(d) (Register 96, No. 46)." The later entry is: "8. Change without regulatory effect amending subsection (b) filed 6-30-2014 pursuant to section 100, title 1, California Code of Regulations (Register 2014, No. 27).". Under 1 CCR § 100, a change without regulatory effect cannot materially alter a regulatory element. The indexing start is therefore the last substantive operative date, 1996-11-13. The official history expressly gives this operative date. No earlier version is represented.
