About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · April 9, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This joint resolution uses a congressional disapproval process to reject a Department of Education rule regarding the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program that was published on October 31, 2025. If approved by both chambers of Congress, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced by Representative Joe Courtney and co-sponsored by dozens of lawmakers, primarily Democrats, and was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. The measure targets federal student loan program policies without specifying the exact changes the Department of Education's rule would have made. No funding or specific implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as it is designed simply to overturn the regulation if it passes both the House and Senate.
