Sec. 4. (a) The treasurer of state may refuse to allow a participating entity to continue participation in the program and revoke the participating entity's status as a participating entity if the treasurer of state determines that the participating entity accepts payments made from an account under this article and:
(1) has failed to provide any educational service required by state or federal law to an eligible student receiving instruction from the participating entity; or
(2) has routinely failed to meet the requirements of a participating entity under the program.
(b) If the treasurer of state revokes a participating entity's status as a participating entity in the program, the treasurer of state shall provide notice of the revocation within thirty (30) days of the revocation to each parent of an eligible student and to each emancipated eligible student receiving instruction from the participating entity who has paid the participating entity from the eligible student's account.
(c) The treasurer of state may permit a former participating entity described in subsection (a) to reapply with the treasurer of state for authorization to be a participating entity on a date established by the treasurer of state, which may not be earlier than one (1) year after the date on which the former participating entity's status as a participating entity was revoked under subsection (a). The treasurer of state may establish reasonable criteria or requirements that the former participating entity must meet before being reapproved by the treasurer of state as a participating entity.
