(A)A variable college savings program established by the Ohio tuition trust authority shall include provisions for a contract to be entered into between a contributor and the authority that will authorize the contributor to open an account for a beneficiary and authorize the contributor to substitute a new beneficiary for one originally named in the contract, to the extent permitted by section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(B)The authority shall provide adequate safeguards to prevent total contributions to a variable college savings program account or purchases of tuition units, either separately or combined, that are made on behalf of a beneficiary from exceeding the amount necessary to provide for the higher education expenses of the beneficiary, consistent with the maximum contributions permitted by section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in no event shall contributions or purchases exceed the allowable limit for a qualified tuition program under section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(C)(1) Participation in the variable college savings program does not guarantee that contributions and the investment return on contributions, if any, will be adequate to cover future higher education expenses or that a beneficiary will be admitted to or permitted to continue to attend an institution of higher education.
