Sec. 61.3075. REQUIRED FINANCIAL RESOURCES. The board by rule may require an institution operating under a certificate of authority, or seeking to operate under a certificate of authority, to ensure that the financial resources and financial stability of the institution are adequate to provide education of a good quality and to fulfill the institution's commitments to its enrolled students and may require the institution to provide to the board documentation of the institution's compliance with those requirements. Rules adopted under this subsection must:

(2) require that the financial resources maintained under Subdivision (1) be conditioned to allow only the board to withdraw funds for the benefit of the institution's enrolled students under the circumstance described by Subdivision (1).
