NASFAA's Legislative Tracker provides student financial aid administrators with a comprehensive look at legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the U.S. Senate during this session of Congress. The tracker breaks down legislation by issue area to allow members the ability to find the legislation on topics or federal programs most important to them and their institution. The tracker will be updated on a regular basis to reflect the most recent action on student aid-related legislation.
Please note: due to slower-than-usual uploading of bill text on Congress.gov, monthly legislative tracker reports may be delayed.
