GRACE Act

The Guarding Religious And Career Education Act, or GRACE Act, proposes a significant change to the structure of federal student aid oversight. Its primary objective is to direct the Secretary of Education to eliminate the Office of Enforcement within the Office of Federal Student Aid. This office was originally established in October 2021, as detailed in an electronic announcement concerning enhanced federal and state oversight partnerships. The bill specifically instructs the Secretary of Education, acting through the chief operating officer for Federal Student Aid, to carry out this elimination. This legislative action aims to dismantle the enforcement body responsible for certain oversight functions related to federal student aid.
