After a multi-hour mark up, the House Education and Workforce Committee approved on a partisan vote the Student Success and Taxpayer Savings Plan, the Committee’s legislative proposal to identify $330 billion of budget savings over ten years with federal programs under its jurisdiction, as outlined by the reconciliation instructions from the FY 2025 Concurrent Budget Resolution. This legislative package, which finds savings from programs and authorities under the Higher Education Act (HEA), will be combined with other packages being generated and considered in other House committees of jurisdiction for eventual inclusion in a final House Budget Committee reconciliation package.
