Teacher Debt Relief Act

HR 7139, the Teacher Debt Relief Act, amends the Higher Education Act to update eligibility for student loan forgiveness for teachers. It removes references to specific teaching roles (previously covered under sections 428J, 428K, and 428L) and clarifies that only teachers in positions covered under sections 428K and 428L qualify for debt relief. The bill directly affects teachers working in designated school settings who hold federal student loans. Key changes involve modifying existing loan forgiveness criteria to narrow which teaching positions qualify, without creating new programs or changing benefit amounts. This is a technical adjustment to the current law's language.
