Summary
A group of Democratic senators led by Tim Kaine (D-VA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution (PDF File) this week to overturn the Trump administration’s new PSLF rule that gives Education Secretary Linda McMahon authority to disqualify certain public service employers from the program . A companion resolution was introduced in the House by Reps. Joe Courtney (D-CT), Alma Adams (D-NC), and Scott Peters (D-CA). The resolution currently has 27 Senate cosponsors, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Once the senators collect 30 signatures, the resolution can be called for a floor vote, where it would need a simple majority to pass.
