Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title...
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program".
This bill, HJR155, aims to allow Congress to review and potentially reject a new rule from the Department of Education regarding the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. This program helps students pay for college by providing loans directly from the government. If Congress disapproves of the new rule, it could be blocked from taking effect.
The rule would affect anyone who applies for or receives a federal student loan, including students, parents, and educational institutions. It may change how loans are managed or the terms of the loans, impacting borrowing costs and repayment options.
HJR155 was introduced on April 9, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. This is the first step in the legislative process, where the committee will review the rule and decide whether to advance the bill for further consideration.
