The No More D.C. Waste Act requires any unspent federal tuition assistance money given to Washington, D.C. to be returned to the federal government at the end of each fiscal year rather than carried over to future years. The bill eliminates language in existing D.C. tuition support programs that previously allowed unused funds to remain available indefinitely. Additionally, the bill requires D.C.'s Chief Financial Officer to submit an annual report to Congress starting in fiscal year 2026 detailing how tuition assistance funds were used, including the number of students helped, average assistance amounts, and any money left unspent. The changes apply to federal appropriations from fiscal year 2016 onward, effectively tightening oversight of how D.C. manages federal education funding.
