Bill Analysis
HJRES 88 is a joint resolution introduced in the 118th Congress aimed at disapproving a specific rule established by the Department of Education regarding income-driven repayment (IDR) plans for federal student loans. The rule in question seeks to improve the IDR process for borrowers under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program and the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program.
The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations. If enacted, HJRES 88 would nullify the Department of Education’s rule, thereby maintaining the status quo regarding income-driven repayment options without the proposed enhancements. The IDR plans are designed to make student loan repayment more manageable by capping monthly payments based on income and family size, and the rule aims to streamline and improve these processes.
The primary agencies affected by this resolution are the Department of Education and its related loan servicing entities. The resolution does not allocate specific funding but rather addresses regulatory authority and compliance. The beneficiaries of the existing IDR programs include millions of federal student loan borrowers who rely on these repayment options to manage their debt effectively.
The latest action on HJRES 88 indicates that it has been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders as Calendar No. 270. This positioning suggests that the resolution is awaiting further consideration or a vote in the Senate. The timeline for any subsequent actions remains uncertain, as it depends on the Senate’s legislative schedule and priorities. Overall, HJRES 88 represents a legislative effort to challenge and potentially reverse changes to student loan repayment policies.
