HRES 1391: Impeaching Linda M. McMahon, Secretary of Education, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution seeks to impeach Linda M. McMahon, the Secretary of Education, for three specific articles of misconduct: willfully violating federal laws, making false statements to Congress, and breaching the public trust. The bill alleges that McMahon illegally transferred the operations of six essential offices within the Department of Education to other federal agencies without congressional approval, contrary to the Department of Education Organization Act. It also claims she misled the Senate by promising to spend all congressionally appropriated funds while simultaneously canceling hundreds of grants and freezing funding for various educational programs. Additionally, the resolution accuses her of terminating approximately 2,000 employees, which disrupted the department's ability to manage federal funds and deliver services. If the House votes to adopt this resolution, the articles of impeachment would be sent to the Senate for a trial that could result in her removal from office.

HR 9289: Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act of 2026

The Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act of 2026 eliminates a federal tax credit that allowed parents to deduct contributions to scholarship granting organizations from their income. By removing these specific tax breaks, the bill prevents the use of public tax dollars to support private school vouchers and scholarship programs. This change directly affects families who currently rely on these tax incentives to fund education outside the public school system. The provisions take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026.

HJRES 189: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Reimagining and Improving Student Education-Federal Student Loan Program Final Regulations".

This joint resolution seeks to officially reject a final rule issued by the Department of Education regarding federal student loan programs. If passed, the measure would prevent the new regulations from taking effect, leaving the previous rules in place. The bill directly impacts borrowers, lenders, and the Department of Education by nullifying the specific changes outlined in the "Reimagining and Improving Student Education" proposal. It is a procedural action that uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the agency's policy without altering the underlying law.

S 108: Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act of 2025

This bill would bar certain U.S. visas for individuals affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their immediate family members, directly affecting students and exchange visitors seeking to study or participate in cultural programs in the U.S. It amends immigration law to deny F-1 student visas and J-1 exchange visitor visas to CCP members (including those who served on the CCP National Congress) and their spouses, children, parents, siblings, or other close relatives.

Institutions must submit annual reports certifying no such services are offered to remain eligible for federal funds. The law also prevents states from penalizing schools for complying with this funding restriction.

HR 3518: To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit graduate medical schools from receiving Federal financial assistance if such schools adopt certain policies and requirements relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

HR 3518 would deny federal funding to graduate medical schools that require certain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Specifically, schools must certify they do not compel students or staff to affirm specific beliefs about race, gender, or systemic racism; require "diversity statements" for admission or employment; establish DEI offices; or discriminate based on race in programs. This affects graduate medical schools at institutions of higher education seeking federal financial aid, including student loan programs. The bill permits schools to teach about medical conditions related to race or collect demographic data, but prohibits policies mandating DEI-related pledges or offices.

HR 2616: Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act

HR 2616, the PROTECT Kids Act, requires public elementary and middle schools receiving federal education funding to obtain parental consent before changing a student's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on school forms, or before assigning them to sex-based accommodations like locker rooms or bathrooms. The bill directly affects minor students in elementary school or middle grades (ages typically 5-14). Schools must secure this consent as a condition for maintaining federal funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The law focuses on specific administrative changes to student records and facility assignments, not broader educational content or curriculum.
