(a) The purchaser of a prepaid tuition contract may designate a different beneficiary in place of the original beneficiary if the new beneficiary meets the requirements of a beneficiary on the date the designation is changed. The new beneficiary must meet the requirements of Section 529, Internal Revenue Code of 1986, to prevent the change of beneficiary from being treated as a distribution under that law.
(b) The board may adjust the terms of the contract so that the purchaser is required to pay the amount the purchaser would have been required to pay had the purchaser originally designated the new beneficiary as the beneficiary, taking into account any payments made before the date the designation is changed.
(c) The board may not impose a fee in connection with the designation of a new beneficiary.
(d) The purchaser of a prepaid tuition contract may not sell the contract.
