## Summary

**Would codify Executive Order 14191 into law** to push federal policy toward expanded educational freedom and more options for families. - Families: Would give the executive order legal force so its education choice priorities carry weight in federal policy discussions about family options. - Private, religious, and parochial schools: Explicitly preserves existing tests for whether a school is receiving federal financial assistance for Title IX and whether a school is a state actor for Fourteenth Amendment liability. - Federal policy focus: Limits the change to making EO 14191 binding and clarifying legal interpretation, rather than creating new program structures or changing eligibility rules.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Keep Title IX and state-actor rules: benefit, low. The bill would not change who counts as getting federal money for Title IX. It would not change whether a private religious or parochial school is treated as a state actor under the Fourteenth Amendment. Existing tests and decisions would still apply. This would take effect upon enactment.
- Make education freedom order binding law: mixed, medium. This bill would give Executive Order 14191 (90 Fed. Reg. 8859) the force of law. Federal agencies would need to follow it. If enacted, how some K–12 programs, grants, or services are run could change. Families and schools could see different options or processes. Changes would start upon enactment.
