What this bill would do

This bill aims to ensure the appropriate administration of the Impact Aid program. It prevents the Secretary of Education from significantly altering how the program is administered compared to how it was conducted on January 1, 2025. Any changes to the administration would only be allowed if required by Federal law or a court order. Additionally, the Secretary is required to provide annual certification to Congress regarding compliance with these rules. This certification must occur within 30 days of the Act's enactment and every year thereafter.
