The Bill was referred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on November 21, 2024, but currently has no co-sponsors. Senate Bill 5384 can be tracked at Congress.gov.
According to Government Executive:
Education programs would be spread across the
departments of Interior, Treasury, Health and Human Services, Labor and
State. Initiatives supporting Native Americans would go to Interior,
various loan and the Pell Grant programs would transfer to Treasury,
programs supporting special education and disabled children would move
to HHS, efforts to fund vocational and career programs would shift to
Labor and the Fulbright-Hays Program would fall under State. Not all of
Education would receive a reassignment: programs involving teacher
preparation, initiatives for economically disadvantaged students,
work-study and many others do not appear to receive a home under the
bill.
Yay!
