Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HR 1338 - SAT Streamlining Act
The SAT Streamlining Act (HR 1338) aims to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of the SAT college admission test, administered by the College Board. The bill proposes to streamline the administration of the SAT by mandating the development of a digital testing option that is secure, equitable, and accessible for all students, particularly those in underserved communities.
Key Provisions:
- The bill directs the College Board to create a digital version of the SAT that can be administered in various settings, including schools and community centers, to increase accessibility.
- It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the digital platform is user-friendly and incorporates necessary accommodations for students with disabilities.
- The bill also requires the College Board to report on the implementation of the digital SAT, including data on participation rates, demographic information, and feedback from students and educators.
Funding and Authorities: While specific funding provisions are not detailed in the bill, it is anticipated that the College Board will allocate resources from its existing budget to develop the digital platform. The bill does not authorize new federal funding but encourages partnerships with educational institutions and local governments to facilitate implementation.
Affected Programs and Agencies: The primary agency affected is the College Board, which oversees the SAT. Additionally, local educational agencies may be involved in the implementation of the digital testing option.
Beneficiaries: The primary beneficiaries of the SAT Streamlining Act are high school students, particularly those from low-income and underserved backgrounds, who may face barriers to accessing traditional testing environments. Educational institutions may also benefit from improved testing logistics.
Key Timelines: The bill was introduced in the House and underwent a motion to suspend the rules for passage. However, it failed to achieve the required two-thirds majority in a vote held on (date of vote), with 250 votes in favor and 163 against. The future of the bill remains uncertain pending further legislative action.
