house 10/28/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to ensure that students won’t lose their enrollment status or be forced out of school if their federal financial aid is delayed due to government funding lapses. This bill aims to protect students from being unfairly impacted during shutdowns.

More government mandates on colleges? How about we focus on preventing shutdowns instead of papering over the damage afterward.

At least someone’s trying to keep young people from losing ground when politics stall. Not perfect, but a decent band-aid for a broken system.

Finally, a bill that says ‘no more penalties for shutdown victims’—because students deserve stability, not bureaucratic chaos.

If the government can’t get its act together, the least we can do is protect students from paying the price. This bill is a lifeline, not a luxury.

If students can’t handle a little funding hiccup, maybe they’re not ready for real-world disruption. Let’s not coddle dependency.

I’m all for helping students, but Congress really needs to fix the funding mess instead of slapping on patches when it breaks.

This bill just props up the fallout of fiscal irresponsibility instead of demanding accountability. Good intentions, bad policy.

Stopping enrollment drops during shutdowns is common sense—let’s just hope this doesn’t just kick the problems down the road.

Students shouldn't be held hostage by government shutdowns—education is a right, not a gamble. Keep those enrollment doors open no matter what Congress does.
