This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval, under the Congressional Review Act, of a specific rule promulgated by the Department of Education. The rule in question relates to the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program , a significant federal student loan initiative. Should this resolution be enacted, the Department of Education's rule, identified by its Federal Register citation, would be rendered without any legal force or effect. This action would effectively block the implementation of the Department's proposed changes or regulations concerning the Direct Loan Program, thereby maintaining existing policies for federal direct loans.
