Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Five-year grants for student survivors

If enacted, the bill would create a competitive five-year grant program run by the Secretary of Education. Grants would fund patient-centered academic counseling and related services for student survivors of sexual assault and other violence. Funds could pay for re-entry help, faculty and staff training, academic accommodations and confidential tutoring, more mental-health services, and wrap-around supports. The Secretary would prioritize institutions with Title IX violation histories, community colleges, and minority-serving institutions including HBCUs and Tribal Colleges. Institutions would report at the end of their grant on accommodations requested and provided and on survivors' re-enrollment and graduation rates. The law would authorize “such sums as may be necessary” for FY2027 through FY2031, so actual funding depends on future appropriations.

Keep the rest of the Act

If enacted, the bill would say that if a court finds one part of the Act unconstitutional, the rest of the Act would remain in force. This would preserve other provisions and their application to other people or situations. It would not itself provide money or services to households.
