New York (State). Education Dept. Bureau of Business and Distributive Education.

The authority for registering private business schools was contained in the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. When codified in 1942, Section 197 (renumbered as Part 127 in 1970) established facility, equipment, faculty, financial, and curriculum requirements for registration and annual reregistration of these schools. All new teachers at a school must also be approved by the Department under the same section. Until 1937 the work of registering these schools was carried out by a supervisor in commercial education under the Assistant Commissioner for Secondary Education. That year the Bureau of Business Education was established in the Division of Vocational Education. In 1950, it was renamed Bureau of Business and Distributive Education, and in 1963 was transferred to the Division of General Occupational Education I.
