“Related to H.R.899, which has been introduced and referred to the House Education & Workforce Committee, I reached out to Rep. Massie’s office (the Congressman who introduced the bill). Though the text still has not officially been posted, the staff member I spoke to advised that the text of the bill is only one sentence; I replied “So the title is basically the bill?”, and they confirmed it is. The details of how the various components currently housed in the DOE would have to be handled through amendments, additional bills or another vehicle. I am awaiting an email response from the staff member shepherding this bill in the Congressman’s office and will advise of any updates.
