This bill renames the District of Columbia tuition assistance grant program in honor of Eleanor Holmes Norton, the longtime congressional delegate from Washington, D.C. The program, which was originally established by the District of Columbia College Access Act of 1999, will be officially called the "Eleanor Holmes Norton District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant Program" once the bill becomes law. The bill affects all federal references to the tuition assistance grant program, requiring that any mentions in laws, regulations, documents, and records be updated to use the new name. This is a commemorative measure that does not change the program's function or funding. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment of the legislation.
