No Bailouts for Campus Criminals Act

HR 8242, the "No Bailouts for Campus Criminals Act," prohibits the forgiveness, cancellation, or modification of certain federal student loans for individuals convicted of offenses related to protests at colleges or universities. It directly affects students convicted under federal or state law for protest-related conduct at institutions of higher education, excluding them from loan forgiveness programs under the Higher Education Act of 1965 or the Health Education Assistance Loan Program. The bill creates a specific exception to existing loan relief mechanisms, making these individuals ineligible for any covered loan forgiveness regardless of when the loan was issued. This is a policy change targeting loan relief eligibility, not a new program or funding measure.
