Plain Language Summary
# HJRES 41 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would cancel a rule created by the Department of Education regarding the "Postsecondary Student Success Grant" program. If passed, it would eliminate the priorities, requirements, and definitions that the Department of Education established for this grant program in June 2024. This is a "disapproval" resolution, which is a mechanism Congress can use to reject federal agency rules they believe are problematic. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect students and institutions seeking or administering Postsecondary Student Success Grants.
The specific impact depends on what those grant priorities and requirements were—removing them could change which students or schools are eligible, how grants are distributed, or what conditions apply to receiving funds. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House or Senate. It was introduced by Representative Andrew Clyde (R-GA). Without access to the specific details of the June 2024 rule, this summary cannot detail exactly what requirements would be eliminated or what the practical consequences would be for students and institutions.
