Tomorrow at 10:45 a.m., the Education and the Workforce Committee will mark up several bills aimed at enhancing the safety, security, and rights of students, parents, and workers. The bills under consideration include H.R. 618, the Improving Access to Workers’ Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act; H.R. 8606, the Never Again Education Reauthorization and Study Act of 2024; H.R. 8648, the Civil Rights Protection Act of 2024; H.J. Res. 165, a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the Biden administration’s Title IX rule; H.R. 6816, the Promoting Responsible Oversight To Eliminate Communist Teachings (PROTECT) for Our Kids Act; H.R. 5567, the Combating the Lies of Authoritarians in School Systems (CLASS) Act; H.R. 8649, the Transparency in Reporting Adversarial Contributions to Education (TRACE) Act; H.R. 7227, the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act of 2024; and H.R. 8534, the Protecting Student Athlete’s Economic Freedom Act.

“These nine bills enhance the safety, security, and rights of students, parents, and workers across our nation,” said Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC). “The Committee’s jurisdiction covers nearly every facet of American life. As a result, this Committee is working to protect the American people from the Biden administration’s detrimental and radical policy agenda. This wide-ranging markup reflects that commitment.”

The markup session will take place at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 13, 2024, in Room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building.

The event is open to press coverage and will be live-streamed on the Committee’s YouTube page.
