The House Committee on Education and Workforce, chaired by Representative Tim Walberg, will hold a markup session on March 17 at 10:15 a.m. to consider seven bills related to literacy instruction, student protection, student aid fraud prevention, and retirement savings.
This session is significant as the committee oversees federal programs concerning education, labor, health, and workforce development, according to the official website. The committee also plays a key role in shaping policy on issues such as student loans and worker protections.
The full committee will review H.R. 7894 (Truman Scholarship Clean House Act), H.R. 7890 (Science of Reading Act of 2026), H.R. 7892 (No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026), H.R. 7891 (Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act of 2026), H.R. 7893 (FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act), H.R. 7661 (Stop the Sexualization of Children Act), and H.R. 6084 (ERISA Litigation Reform Act). The markup will take place in Room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The event is open to members of the press and will be live-streamed on the committee’s YouTube page.
The House Education and Workforce Committee serves in the legislative sector with jurisdiction over education and labor matters, according to the official website.
As these bills move forward through markup, observers may look for further developments that could impact federal education policy and worker protections.
