PARITY Act Promoting Access and Revenue Integrity Through Institutional...
To repeal the 90/10 rule as it pertains to proprietary schools under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
HB9580 is a bill that aims to change a specific rule affecting private, for-profit schools. This rule, known as the 90/10 rule, is part of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and currently requires these schools to ensure that at least 90% of their federal financial aid goes to students who graduate or complete their programs. The bill seeks to remove this requirement.
If passed, this bill would primarily impact for-profit colleges and universities, potentially allowing them more flexibility in how they manage federal financial aid. It could also affect students who attend these schools and rely on federal aid to fund their education.
The bill was introduced on July 2, 2026, and is currently in its early stages, having been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. The committee will review the bill and decide whether to move it forward for further consideration.
