What this amendment would do

SA 4072, submitted by Mrs. Murray and Ms. Baldwin, aims to change section 314 of division D in bill H.R. 4016.

The purpose of this amendment is to stop the Secretary of Education from using funds from this Act or any other appropriations Act to:

  • Enter into or implement agreements with other Federal agencies.
  • Procure services from other Federal agencies.

These restrictions apply to carrying out significant responsibilities for any program, project, or activity funded for the Department of Education. Examples of these responsibilities include:

  • Administering or operating programs.
  • Making grant awards.
  • Carrying out technical assistance.
  • Enforcing rights and requirements, such as data collection and sharing.
  • Conducting core administrative and oversight functions.
  • Monitoring grantees.

The amendment also states that the Department of Education must support career staffing levels needed to fulfill its statutory responsibilities and carry out funded programs, projects, and activities in a timely manner.
