Affected Sectors

How to read this

Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.

Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.

Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.

Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.

Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.

CBO Cost Estimates

Official Congressional Budget Office cost estimate links associated with this bill through Congress.gov records.

How to read this

CBO estimates are official source documents with their own assumptions, scope, and publication dates. They can score a bill, a version of a bill, or a broader legislative package.

LawLinter stores the source link from Congress.gov and does not replace the CBO document. Use these cards as pointers for source review, not as independent fiscal advice.

CBO context shows source-attributed Congressional Budget Office cost estimates linked from official Congress.gov bill records. It is research context only; read the official CBO source document for assumptions, scope, and dates.

No CBO cost estimate is currently linked for this bill.

Existing agency spending context

Official USAspending.gov award records for agencies connected through bill-text agency signals. This helps show the existing agency spending landscape around the bill, not spending caused by the bill.

How to read this

USAspending records describe federal awards, grants, contracts, loans, direct payments, recipients, agencies, and dates reported through the official public spending system.

LawLinter links this context through agency names detected in bill text. That bridge is a research shortcut and should not be read as a legal or budget conclusion.

USAspending context shows official public award records for agencies connected through LawLinter bill-text agency signals. It is historical spending and award context only, not proof that this bill caused, authorized, required, or changed any award, grant, contract, payment, or program spending.

How to read this

LDA filings are public lobbying disclosure records. LawLinter links them here only when the filing activity text contains an exact-looking reference to this bill.

A filing can mention many issues, clients, agencies, or bills. A match should be treated as a pointer for review, not as a conclusion about why legislation changed or how any lawmaker acted.

Summary

00 Introduced in House Jun 29, 2026

Student Protection and Success Act This bill establishes certain consequences for institutions of higher education (IHEs) that have low student loan repayment rates or high student loan balances among their students. Specifically, the bill makes an IHE ineligible for federal student financial aid programs for three fiscal years if only 15% or less of its students are able to start repaying the principal of their loans by specified deadlines. Additionally, the bill creates a grant program through which the Department of Education must award grants to eligible IHEs (i.e., IHEs with a student loan repayment rate above 25%) that have a strong record of supporting low- and moderate-income students. The bill funds the grants by requiring IHEs with certain nonrepayment loan balances to make risk-sharing payments. Grants may be used to increase college access and success for the students using investments and practices such as awarding additional need-based financial aid, enhancing academic and student support services, and establishing or expanding accelerated learning opportunities. The bill also requires the National Center for Education Statistics to collect information on student service expenditures, student service resources, and recruitment and marketing expenditures.
