Bill Analysis
HJRES 45 is a joint resolution introduced in the 118th Congress aimed at disapproving a specific rule proposed by the Department of Education concerning the waivers and modifications of federal student loans. This resolution is grounded in the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations.
The rule in question pertains to the Department of Education’s authority to grant waivers and modifications to federal student loans, potentially impacting the repayment obligations of borrowers. If enacted, HJRES 45 would effectively nullify this rule, thereby preventing the Department from implementing the proposed changes to student loan policies.
The resolution does not allocate new funding but directly affects the regulatory framework governing federal student loans. It targets the Department of Education, which oversees federal student loan programs and the associated borrower protections. The disapproval could influence millions of borrowers who rely on federal student loans for their education financing, as the changes could have provided relief or adjustments to their repayment terms.
The key beneficiaries of the original rule, if it were to remain in effect, would have been federal student loan borrowers seeking more flexible repayment options. Conversely, the passage of HJRES 45 would maintain the status quo, potentially limiting the Department of Education’s ability to offer tailored relief measures.
The latest action on HJRES 45 indicates that the House has completed its consideration and has notified the Senate, signaling the resolution’s progression through the legislative process. The timeline for further action in the Senate remains to be determined, as it will depend on the Senate’s schedule and priorities regarding education policy and student loan regulations.
