This bill would modify the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program under federal law to prohibit loan forgiveness for people who work for organizations engaged in substantial illegal activities. Specifically, the legislation targets organizations involved in immigration violations, terrorism support, child abuse, illegal discrimination, and certain state law violations like trespassing or vandalism. The bill affects borrowers who currently qualify for loan forgiveness after ten years of public service employment; under this legislation, those working for organizations meeting these criteria would be ineligible. The measure does not establish new funding or specify an implementation timeline but would amend existing federal higher education law immediately upon passage. The bill was introduced in May 2025 and referred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.
