# What This Bill Does

Congress is trying to kill a new Department of Education rule about something called the "Postsecondary Student Success Grant." Think of this as Congress saying "we don't like this rule the Education Department created, so we're voting to reject it and make it go away." If this bill passes, the grant program would be blocked from going into effect.

The bill doesn't explain what the grant program actually does, but based on its name, it appears to be some kind of financial aid or funding opportunity for college students or colleges themselves. The Education Department created this rule in June 2024, and now some members of Congress want to overturn it before it can be implemented. This is a special type of vote called a "disapproval resolution" that Congress can use to reject rules created by government agencies.

If this bill becomes law, students and colleges that were expecting this grant money would lose access to it. Anyone who was counting on this funding—whether that's individual students needing help paying for college or institutions planning programs around this money—would be affected. The practical impact depends entirely on what the grant program was supposed to do and who it was supposed to help, but the bottom line is that if Congress votes to disapprove it, the money won't be available and the program won't happen.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Postsecondary Student Success Grant".
