This resolution cancels a rule the Department of Education published on October 31, 2025, about the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program. If it passes both chambers and is signed into law, that rule would have no legal effect and would be treated as if it never existed.
Anyone currently repaying, applying for, or managing federal Direct Loans would be affected, since the cancelled rule would no longer apply to them.
The rule would be fully erased, so any changes it was set to make to the Direct Loan program would not take place.
